Re: [Air-l] Denial of Service attack against al Jazeera

Here's more info of off nettime:

From [undercurrents on http://bbs.thing.net] aljazeera in english

I actually heard an interesting news report tonight on Pacifica by the host of the hacker hour called OFF THE HOOK. he said that as soon as the al-jazeera site in English went up, known hackers started receiving emails from people begging them to hack into it and take it down. most of the emails came from hotmail addresses, but the hackers were able to trace many of them .mil addresses, which means US military is urging hackers to engage in the same "cyberterrorism" they want to make illegal.
