A computer hacking group best known for creating tools for hijacking computer systems is turning its hand to civil disobedience and plans to release an application that could scupper government and corporate censorship around the world.
| 2/6/2001 GENEVA (AP) - Hackers appear to have stolen data on thousands of world and business leaders, including former President Clinton, organizers of the World Economic Forum said Monday. The weekly Sonntags Zeitung of Zurich reported Sunday that hackers have produced a CD-ROM containing secured information on 27,000 people who have attended the global forum in recent years, including Clinton, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

Forum, held annually in Davos, Switzerland, were filing foran injunction to stop further dissemination of the data, said Charles McLean, the forum's chief spokesman. The perpetrators are unknown. The newspaper said the material - including the credit card numbers of some 1,400 prominent people - had been collected by anti-globalization protesters. Opponents who have mounted demonstrations against the forum maintain that it is an exclusive club acting in the interests of big business and against the world's poor. |
Anti-globalists turn to
hacking ...
becoming modern day "hactivists."
The technicians at the WTO got a bit suspicious when "journalists" in an online press conference went by screen names like "NO-TO-WTO." Still, WTO Director, General Mike Moore gamely answered all questions thrown at him until he was knocked off-line by
anti-globalization protesters with excellent computer skills. This week, similarly motivated "hacktivists" grabbed headlines, announcing they'd collected personal data on some 1,400 business and political leaders by breaking into the database of last month's World Economic Forum. Increasingly, social activists are turning to hacking to make their point, breaking into computer systems to attack the corruption of power. The Internet has turned out to be a remarkable tool of war for nonviolent protest on a scale activists could only dream of before.
The data bases of power - utterly evading the privacy act sell our private information "containing every nuance of our lives" ... for profit. From the day we are born: how we live, where we went to school, where we have worked, what our medical disposition is, how we spend our money, where we have traveled, what party we are affiliated with, our credit worthiness, who we have made contact with, our e-mail correspondence, on and on. Recently everyone attending the 35th Super Bowel have their photo taken ( without their knowledge ) and stored in a government data bank. Wouldn't it be justifiable for us ( we the people ) to gather information and have data bases for our purposes ... saving our country from a power takeover? Patriotic computer savvy organizers can pit our chips against theirs. It's their way. Why shouldn't it be ours?
http://www.hackers.com/index2.htm Hackers.Com was started in 1994 by HackingWiz as a home on the world wide web for his popular dial-up underground BBS, The Hackers' Haven, which has been in operation since 1983. Hackers.Com represented not only a BBS that freely distributed information, but a place for freedom of speech and freedom of the mind that allowed knowledge to pass through it unfiltered. He then hired Hyper Viper who became the head web master for Hackers.Com and added his own unique talents to the site. From the beginning Hackers.Com represented the ethical side of the underground, the side that penetrated systems not to destroy, but to create knowledge in the minds of everyone who viewed its contents.
To this day the original LOA members (Phreaked Out, Fallout, and Phreak Show) still work closely with Hackers.Com in their spare time and contribute their talents to Hackers.Com projects and services. As you can see, Hackers.Com was founded on ethics and the idea that knowledge is power, and it will continue to represent those beliefs to the best of its ability.

The London 2600 chapter, with about 100 or so members who come and go, meets once a month at the Webshack — which the hackers spell Websh@ck, accent on the last four letters — or a nearby McDonald’s. The burger place sometimes offers more table space, they explained.
Mark had obviously done some presidential research in honor of our meeting. He had found some basic flaws in Bush-related Web pages that would make it trivial for a hacker to deface Bush’s gubernatorial home page, the Texas judiciary’s home page, and even the Republic National Committee’s page — a site that accepts donations and logs credit card numbers. He didn’t actually take the final steps required to break in, but he did enough to show he could. "I don’t know if he can run the free world,” Mark said. “He can’t keep the Texas banking system computers secure.” He added he had found flaws in Gore pages too, but didn’t recall them as we sat at a computer at the Webshack. Hackers often resort to such magic tricks to get the attention of journalists, but that’s not what “Zap” and Mark really wanted to talk about. In just a few moments with two 2600 members, it became clear what’s on the mind of London’s hackers: George Orwell.
WORSE THAN ORWELL ENVISIONED
“You’ll sense a bit of paranoia from us,” Mark, a tall, kind-faced computerveteran, probably about 35, said. “But it’s actually worse than Orwell wrote in 1984. In that book, the only respite was at night. Here the cameras are on 24 hours a day."
