Sometimes I am glad I host this blog at Google (Muddy Waters edition)
Muddy Waters Research (of Sino Forest fame) published a negative piece on Focus Media (the American listed stock of a real Chinese outdoor advertising company).
A day later Muddy Waters website is down - albeit with a short message:
MW regrets that our site has been hacked. We will bring it up as soon as possible.
FMCN is still a Strong Sell.
Happy Thanksgiving,
MW
Google does not have a flawless record at keeping Chinese criminals (ahem the Chinese Government) from hacking them - but I suspect they could beat any attempt by an outdoor advertising company.
