Hong Kong (CNS) -- The official website of the Central People's Government liaison office in Hong Kong was maliciously hacked on both Wednesday and Thursday, with attempts to access the portal temporarily blocked.
The site has since been restored.
On Thursday, the liaison office announced it had reported the attacks to police, saying such acts violated the law and social morality.
The cyber attacks accompanied the recent Occupy Central demonstrations, with a news site run by Hong Kong authorities also affected.
Local police have detained five people suspected of providing hacking software used in the attack one official websites.
