Drug Watchdogs Website Faked
02nd Nov 2007
China's battle against fake drugs has taken an unusual twist with the discovery of a fake Web siteTtnb163.cn/sdfs/index.htm masquerading as that of the country's food and drug watchdog.
While looking very similar to the State Food and Drug Administration's real site Sda.gov.cn, it has a totally different address and was still functioning Thursday.
"This site is definitely not for real," an official at the regulator was quoted as saying. "These lawbreakers have got some balls!"
The link takes users to a false page on the watchdog's site which lists all the country's officially approved drugs, to give the impression that the drug is recognized.
