China's Baidu site has been attacked by hackers。

BEIJING -(Dow Jones)- Baidu Inc. (BIDU), China's top search engine, was unavailable early Tuesday in China, and some Internet users reported seeing signs of an attack on the site by Iranian hackers.

Users reported seeing a banner for the "Iranian Cyber Army," complete with an Iranian flag and a shattered star of David, when they tried to access Baidu's homepage Tuesday.

Marten Strassburg, a Swedish citizen living in Beijing, said he saw the site defaced with the Iranian group's logos around 10:30a.m. Beijing time (9:30 p.m. Monday EST). Strassburg and dozens of others posted screen shots of Baidu's defaced site online.
