I pickout parts of the conversation. Conversation 1 Reporter: I heard your name recently in the Sino-US hacker conflict. It isreported that you have attacked many Chinese websites. Can you tell me whyyou do so? PoizonBox: We just do what we like to do. We have not special politicalintention, we also have not concrete attacking plan. Reporter: Have you read those reports and discourse about you? What is your view about these comments? PoizonBox: There are many inconsistent with the facts. For example, I am actually not an American. Reporter: I learned from an article that you had attacked some British websites. Why you chose British websites as your attacking targets? PoizonBox: I am a hacker. I have my freedom to attack. I think I have right to attack any website. Reporter: Do you only attack those websites outside of US? Why? PoizonBox: Because I have ownership of some US governmental websites. Reporter: It is said that every time you mainly attack the websites only of one country. Why? PoizonBox: No special reason. We are destroyer of network. We only follow our feeling. Reporter: What is the main reason you take part in hacker activity? Just because you like it? PoizonBox: Network attacking is my job, my fancy, and even my life. I need it just like I need water and air. Conversation 2: Reporter: What is your occupation. Prophet: I am a network administrator of an ISP. Reporter: You are friend of PoisonBox. Have you meet? Prophet: Never. We communicate with each other through e-mail. Reporter: What is the standard of your attacking target? Prophet: At first I only chose some websites at random. Now I mainly attack those websites ended with edu.cn or ac.cn. Sometimes I also attack those websites ended with .cn. Reporter: You once said that you did not want to fight a network war. What kind of action do you think you are doing?¡¡ Prophet: I know my attacking action will not bring great negative affection on those target websites. I only modify their homepages. I think this competition only provide an occasion for whose viewpoint being more acceptable by the network users. I don¡¯t hate Chinese government and Chinese people. But I have different opinion with them. I just show my viewpoint to more people. Reporter: Why US hackers can break into Chinese websites so easily? Prophet: I think the quality of Chinese network security administrators are popularly not very high, that is the main reason. Reporter: Do you believe the Chinese hackers will begin a furious network battle from May 1? Prophet: I think they have such plan. It may result in some defacement of US homepages. The number of Chinese hackers is very large now. We should not underestimate their abilities. Reporter: Have the US hackers prepared for it? Prophet: We don¡¯t make a big deal out of it. Of course we will pay attention to the action of Chinese hackers. Reporter: What do you think is the result of this Sino-US competition? Prophet: I think such mutual threat and attack will end quickly. Maybe those hackers getting fun from defacement will be sick of it soon. Maybe the media from both sides will be fed up with the conflicting. http://tech.sina.com.cn/i/w/65559.shtml http://tech.sina.com.cn/i/w/65527.shtml From these two conversations we can find that these hackers have notexplicit intention. Actually they don¡¯t care politics. They have nohostility to the opponents. Their motivation sometimes sounds verynaïve and unreasonable. It is fortunately because none really like awar. But to those criminologists, such unmotivated crime is most difficultto prevent. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo!
