Hacker Cracks Islamist Mailing List
By Rick Perera, IDG, 9/19/01

The anonymous hacker has published a list of hundreds of e-mail
addresses, including that of a suspect in last week's World Trade Center
attack.
LONDON - A hacker has cracked a German-based Islamist Web site,
publishing on the Web hundreds of e-mail addresses of subscribers to its
mailing list, including one of a suspect in last week's terrorist attack
on the World Trade Center in New York.
The hacker, using the alias "Anonyme Feigling" ("Anonymous Coward"),
posted more than 500 addresses to the Swiss news site www.symlink.ch/ on
Saturday, unleashing a fierce online debate on the appropriateness of
the move.
The German Islamist site, www.qoqaz.de/, has been taken offline, but an
English-language mirror, www.qoqaz.co.uk/, is still accessible. It
carries on its main page such articles as "The Islamic Ruling on the
Permissibility of Martyrdom Operations" and "Taliban: Allah's Blessing
on Afghanistan."
Anonymous Coward defended the action in a post Tuesday, writing, "This
site has called for holy war. For me the site is just as acceptable as
a site that wants to recruit Nazis for the Fourth Reich. Whoever
subscribes to such a list knows exactly what he's doing." Anonymous
Coward also "called the BKA (German criminal police) and reported both
the hack and the posting of the list. My name and telephone number are
known to them," the hacker wrote. "We're aware of this case and will
consider it within the context of our investigation," said a police
spokesman. He declined, however, to offer further details or confirm
whether police are aware of the hacker's identity.
One of the addresses in the mailing list was that of a student at the
Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, who has been named by German
police in connection with the World Trade Center attack. An appeal is
currently circulating among hackers, calling on them to destroy Web
sites and other communication systems linked to the Internet in Islamic
countries or used by Islamic organizations, according to the
Berlin-based hackers' organization Chaos Computer Club, or CCC. CCC
called on hackers to ignore the appeal.
"Electronic communication infrastructures like the Internet are
necessary to contribute to international understanding. In a situation
like this, which is understandably tense, it's simply not acceptable to
cut lines of communication and provide a stronger foundation for
ignorance," said CCC spokesman Andy M ller-Marguhn, who also serves as a
member of the board of directors of ICANN, or the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers, in a statement.
