President Clinton described the elec- onic attacks as a “source of concern” but shunned a mparison to an “electronic Pearl Harbor.” He said consumers should not feel any “vast sense If insecurity.” “I don’t think that the analogous loss was that great,” linton said. “We ought to leave here with a sense ofcon- idence that this is a challenge that was entirely predictable, part of the price of the success of the Internet.” Participants at die meeting said they discussed ways improve security on the Internet and how to protect “ Schools close as )olice stage hunt (iller manhunt 5 olice extended their search to Wyoming for a Texas survivalist wanted the killing of a farmer and the wounding of two law officers in Nebraska.

(AP) — Military Downs ruled Mond,i ; yelicopters were called in and schools ed no significant risk it idate witnesses. powerful “server” computers from hackers who install attack software and use the servers remotely to over whelm major World Wide Web sites. “ It was a failure of security at those companies that al lowed that software to sit on their machines,” said Terry Milholland, chief information officer at Electronic Data Systems Corp. The FBI sought to interview several hackers known by their online nicknames, a Justice Department official said, requesting anonymity. The one who calls himself “coolio” claimed responsibility during the weekend for hacking the Website of one of the country’s most promi nent Internet security companies. That hacker redirected visitors to the Website of RSA Security Inc. — “the most trusted name in e-se- curity” — to another hacked computer at a university in South America. There, a nearly duplicate hoax site proclaimed: “Trust us with your data! Praise Allah!” The hacker left a message, “owned by coolio,” and also derided RSA’s earlier announcement that it devel oped a countermeasure to the types of attacks suffered last week at Yahoo!, eBay, Amazon and other major com mercial Websites. RSA spokesperson Richard Mack confirmed the com pany was hacked early Sunday and was working with the FBI, but he added that RSA has not “drawn any conclu sions there is a connection” between last week’s attacks and the weekend vandalism. The Justice official also said the FBI wants to speak with another hacker known as “mafiaboy,” and a second Justice official said the FBI is interested in talking with “nachoman.” “It’s too much to say they’re suspects. We want to talk to them,” the first Justice official said. Sutherland: Two police officers shot.

Federal and state law enforcement agencies announced a crackdown Mon day against Web scammers who offer goods they don't have or accept pay ments and do not deliver. “We want Internet auction users and the online auction industry to know that the e-con artists who capitalize on them are going, going, gone,” said Jodie Bernstein, director of the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “We don’t intend to let a handful of rogues erode consumer con fidence in Internet commerce or Inter net auctions.” Bernstein said the number of com plaints the FTC has received about In ternet auctions has ballooned to nearly 11,000 in 1999 from 107 in 1997.
