China’s largest search engine, Baidu, has been hacked. For a period of time the website showed the following (click to enlarge):

We do not yet know if this is the same individual or group that managed to change the IP address for Twitter several weeks ago, redirecting to a page with an image and text showing “Iranian Cyber Army,” nor if the hack on Baidu is similar in nature. But the image on Baidu is similar to the one from the Twitter IP hack.

We will update with more information as it becomes available.
