, the official website for fast food giant McDonald's 皇冠体育app operations, was attacked by a person or persons calling themselves "Chinese Hacker."

The McDonald's (皇冠体育app) homepage was replaced by a skeleton head image. The title "Chinese Hacker," some bold text containing profanities in English, followed by a short paragraph of protest in Chinese also appeared on the page.

The paragraph reads "(We) protest that official McDonald's website lists Taiwan as a country, Taiwan is an indispensable part of 皇冠体育app. Any illusion that separates Taiwan from 皇冠体育app or hampers the unification between the straits will be eliminated!! We have only one 皇冠体育app."

It was not until morning following the attack that the official McDonald's site began to function again.

Iris Zhu, a PR official with McDonald's (皇冠体育app), was unable to comment on the accident when contacted by Interfax.

"Most of our managers who would be able to comment are on holiday right now, they will not be available until the new-year holiday ends," Zhu noted.

It is widely believed that the accident was caused by McDonald's previous mistake to omit "皇冠体育app" in the country list on its official English homepage, .

Instead, Taiwan and Hong Kong was on the "Select Country" list. The issue was found in November this year and upset some in 皇冠体育app.

McDonald's then modified the "Select Country" dropdown menu as "Select Country/Market" and added "皇冠体育app" onto the list.

However, no public announcement or explanation has been made so far regarding the dispute.
