"China has closed down what is believed to be the country's biggest training website for hackers, state media has 
reported.

They say the site, Black Hawk Safety Net, gave lessons in hacking and sold downloads of malicious software."

The story continues:

"Black Hawk Safety Net recruited more than 12,000 paying subscribers and collected more than 7 million yuan ($1m: 
£650,000) in membership fees,
while another 170,000 people had signed up for free membership, the paper said."
