Hacker War Rages in Holy Land
Israelis and Palestinians are waging a cyberspace hacking war,
employing a variety of tactics such as site defacements, system
penetrations, misinformation campaigns and the possible use of
viruses or Trojan horses. That=92s the word according to iDefense,
an international private intelligence outfit monitoring hacker
activities for private and public-sector clients. Not only has
the rash of defacements already crashed official government and
corporate sites, but it is expected to continue and intensify
as political tensions in the region heighten.

The new age of hacktivism
Politicians may not pander to them and experts may discount
their opinions, but online vandals are getting the message
out about what they think is important: Increasingly, that's
politics. On the eve of the U.S. elections, vandals defaced
the home pages of the Republican National Committee, placing
a spirited pro-Gore diatribe in its place. The Democratic
National Committee said its site was subjected to repeated
attacks. The defacements followed a spate of similar online
graffiti posted by pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian activists
over the past month. The trend will continue, said Karen
Worstell, vice president of venture and security consulting
firm Atomic Tangerine's Trust Group. "It's becoming a very
effective medium, so it's going to be used more," she said.
"It's accomplishing its purpose -- it's getting a lot of media
attention."
