Yes - in the case of the mentioned cracker "m0sad" - my sources confirmed that this not more than a smart individual working teenager. No - should be divided for two. A) Individually working, with not any coordination between any others. B) Well coordinated groups. For the "No" part I must note that at the beginning of the cyber conflict many coordinated attacks were observed; In this days, only fraction of those can be classified as "coordinated", most of them are individually working, although their motives apparently stays the same. I additional, yes, if believe like you that are pranks around, my estimations is 2-3%. ------------------------------ :) SB, MAGLAN - Information Warfare Research Lab. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ozair To: MAGLAN 1 Cc: Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 9:10 PM Subject: RE: [iwar] Cyber conflict over the Middle East - update 12.12.00 > hmmmm....... > > Interesting, but then again look at it from a broader perspective.
