A cyberattack took aim Tuesday at Chinese computer maker Lenovo’s website, replacing the site’s content with photos of bored-looking teenagers set to the song “Breaking Free” from High School Musical. The attack comes a week after Lenovo was criticized for including an encryption-breaking adware program called Superfish within its computers.
