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. In one case,

of computer services
Palestinian sympathizers broke into
a Website operated by a pro-Israel
lobbying group in the United States,
stealing credit card information and
email addresses.
The theft of private data is a rela
tively new tactic, however, that goes
beyond defacing Websites and elec
tronic bombardment of servers.
Anti-globalist protesters contend
the WTO’s trade treaties benefit big
corporations and rich countries at
the expense of the environment and
workers. They consider the I
