Bell, the Libertarian essayist and contributor to the Cypherpunk mailing list, was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison for stalking Jeff Gordon, a federal agent who had been investigating his activities. He was given two consecutive sentences of five years each, meaning that he will not begin to serve the second sentence until the first one is over. Most often people convicted of multiple charges in a single trial serve their sentences concurrently, so that both begin and end at the same time. http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,46341,00.html [FC - Not explicity information warfare, but I think this is one of the folks who participated in the DCA against all.net in 1988...] Internal net saboteurs being brought to justice An IS worker is scheduled to face federal criminal charges this week in U.S. District Court in Miami for allegedly downloading a virus into his employer's computer system, crashing the network for nearly two full days. This case, which comes a little more than a year after the first federal criminal prosecution of computer sabotage, is just one in a growing number of insider-based network attacks, according to federal law enforcement agents. Another case is getting ready to go to trial in October in Las Vegas, and yet another was wrapped up with a guilty verdict this summer in New Hampshire. http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2001/0827court.html Taleban website defaced A hacker has broken into a pro-Taleban website, just hours after the Taleban banned the use of the internet in Afghanistan. The hacker defaced the site with obscenities against the Taleban and their ally, the Saudi militant Osama bin Laden, and Chechen leaders. The hacker publicised the fact that, while the Taleban have banned their citizens from accessing the internet, they and their supporters have been using it for external publicity for years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_1510000/1510440.stm DOD seeks security ally The Defense Intelligence Agency is seeking assistance in tracking computer network attacks on Defense Department systems that originate from an unspecified foreign country.
