Hinter dürren Disclaimers auf Seite 1 (c below) brodelt die Wut. "The New York Times wants the FBI to hunt the group down and have them prosecuted within the full extent of the law" heisst es bei Newsbytes (c below). So sah die NYtimes Frontpage vor 12 Stunden aus http://24.0.214.250/~comega/nyt/index.html related story http://www.jya.com/nyt-hack.htm post/scrypt: Dass der quint/essentielle Depeschen/dienst mehrere Stunden lang ein sogenanntes "world-exclusive" hatte, ist dieser beiden Herren Ver/dienst: O.Lendl@Austria.EU.net Markus.Mittringer@derstandard.at -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- The New York Times on the Web was unavailable for more than nine hours on Sunday, the result of an attack by hackers. Most of the site is now available but certain areas, including the archive, crossword and some other services, remain inaccessible. from http://www.nytimes.com -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- NEW YORK, U.S.A., 1998 SEP 14 (NB) -- By Adam Creed, Newsbytes. ... HFG broke into the New York Times site at about 7:30am EDT Sunday, leaving users wanting to read Times coverage of the Starr report facing a front page that included an HFG logo and text that read, in "elite" hacker speak, "F1RST 0FF, WE HAVE T0 SAY.. WE 0WN YER DUMB ASS." The group claimed the break-in was amusing and one done out of boredom. Jokingly offering their services as security consultants, the hackers ridiculed defenses in place at large sites and exposed the ease with which they could change and alter Web sites if security was poor. ... The site was eventually taken offline at around 10am EDT. Alongside the capitalized and "elite" text on the Web page, the source code of the HTML revealed more explanation and comment. The hackers attacked John Markoff, a New York Times reporter who wrote a book on jailed hacker Kevin Mitnick, Carolyn Meinel, author of "The Happy Hacker", and congratulated themselves on the ease with which they entered the Times site, taking a shot at lax corporate security. ... "Much of the hacker world is unhappy with her because her book portrays their type of hacking as a joke and them as simple criminals," said B.K. DeLong, director of the New England chapter for the World Organization of Webmasters. "This defeats one of the primary purposes for hacking which is the 'guts and glory' of hearing it mentioned as a cool and noble thing," said DeLong, who helped track down the NCAA hacker in 1997. The attack was not a one-off, past hacks by the group include sites owned by NASA, Motorola and Penthouse magazine. The New York Times wants the FBI to hunt the group down and have them prosecuted within the full extent of the law. They had the site restored and up running again at 7:35 p.m EDT. The hack took advantage of the high traffic at news Web sites to promote a grassroots hacker message to a wide audience. ... "These hackers hacked an extremely high profile site," says DeLong. "In many movies, terrorists take over radio, television stations or newspapers to 'get their message heard'. The Unabomber was a similar case, getting his paper published in the Washington Post. Now all people have to do is hack the site of a high-profile media site that gets hundreds of thousands of hits and they have an audience..." ... Why should this hacking be limited to this group alone? "I don't see why someone hasn't hacked into an important government site or another organization's site, and not touched the design but slightly altered the content to change the organizations' point of view," says DeLong. "Like logging onto the National Rifle Association site and saying they finally agree to ban all assault weapons." from http://www.newsbytes.com -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- q/depesche is powered by http://www.netsphere.at handicrafters of fine mailing-lists and more -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1998-09-14 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
