FBI Admits Hackers Crippled Its Web Site
Shutdown Similar to Recent Massive Cyberattacks

Feb. 25, 2000

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI acknowledged today that electronic vandals
shut down its own Internet site for hours last week in the same type
of attack that disrupted some of the Web's major commercial sites.

The bureau's Web site, www.fbi.gov, remained inaccessible for more
than three hours Feb. 18 because vandals overwhelmed it by transmitting
spurious signals.
