The recent release of letters claiming outrages damages from companies allegedly targeted by Kevin Mitnick have not pleased the prosecution. The prosecution has filed a motion to have the defense held in contempt for releasing the information. A hearing scheduled for tomorrow originally scheduled to determine Kevin's future earnings potential may also address this motion. The hearing is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10:00 at: U.S. Central District of California Western Division - Spring Street Court House, 312 N. Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. If you are in the area stop in and show Kevin some support. It should be some exciting drama.

The US Embassy in China, The DOE, and the Department of Interior are a few of the web sites that have had their web pages changed as a direct result of the bombings. Most of the slogans posted on the pages are extremely anti USA and NATO and and evoke Chinese nationalism and patriotism.

It is hard to tell if it is the person being written about or the reporter doing the writing but this "news article" makes it seem that Guy Denton was sent from IBM to save all of Australia from cyber attacks. A prime example of sensationalistic advertising hiding as "news".
