The National Infrastructure protection Center has identified a new self
replicating script (hmmm, they don't call it a virus?). The Alert
issued by NIPC says that the new script will erase hard drives and dial
911 emergency systems. The script seems to only effect systems running
Windows that are setup with file and print sharing.

The district court of Hannover Germany has sentenced the creator of
Tribe Flood Network, the tool allegedly used in the recent massive DDoS
attacks, to 6 six months youth punishment on probation. Mixter was
accused of "computer sabotage" and "spying on data". However, the trial
had nothing to do with the recent attacks on major internet sites, such
as CNN or eBay, Mixter was sentenced due to a felony that happened two
years ago. In 1998 he repeatedly broke into several company systems and
spied on their data.

Identity theft is on the rise, while not a new crime law enforcement
officials credit the Internet with its rising popularity. (Glad to
see the NY Times using words other than hacker to equate criminal.)

Last year HNN fooled quite a few people by posting a defacement of our
own page and several rather humorous news stories for April Fools Day.
This year felt we had to do something different so we posted the news in
warez speak. By looking at our mail some people evidently thought this
was our new format. hehehe
