Protesters resort to hackin Anti-globalist ‘hacktivists’ target WTO, big business ontii F "BIG DADDY" GENEVA (AP) — The techni- cians at the World Trade Organiza tion (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 thrqwn at him — until he was knocked off-line by anti-glob- alization protesters with excellent computer skills. This week, similarly motivated “hacktivists” grabbed headlines, an nouncing they had collected credit card and other 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 have turned to hacking to make their point, breaking into computer systems and wreaking havoc on organizations they oppose. The Internet has turned out to be a remarkable tool for nonviolent protest on a scale activists could only dream of before. The term “hacktivist” was first ap plied to supporters of the Zapatista rebels in Mexico’s southern state of Chiapas, who have sabotaged Mexi can government Websites since 1998 and held “virtual sit-ins” designed to overload servers. More recently, the tactic has been used in Serbia, Pakistan and India — and by both Palestinians and Israelis in the Middle East.

The theft of private data is a rela tively new tactic, however, that goes beyond defacing Websites and elec tronic bombardment of servers.
