A Web site set up by China’s
Ministry of Defense this summer was hit by more 
than 230 million hacker attacks in its first month of
operation, but none of the 
attacks were successful, state media reported on November
19.

What's a "hacker attack"?

Imagine they have a class C (256 addresses), and one hacker decides to port scan the class C, that's 16-million "hacker 
attacks" right there. And that's just TCP.
