A subtle defacement of the website of electronics manufacturer Foxconn has
drawn further attention to an alarming spate of worker suicides at a plant in
southern China.
Nine of the workers at a Shenzen plant where iPhones and other hi-tech kit is
assembled have killed themselves this year, with a further two unsuccessful
suicide attempts. In a satirical response, Foxconn's human resources site was
hacked with a spoof 'We're Hiring' notice.
