CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, U.S.A.,
17 Sep 2001

Members of a hacking coalition retaliated for the terrorist attacks on 
America by defacing at least two Iranian Web sites since the weekend. But 
the loose-knit group may have also erroneously marred a site operated by a 
company with offices in the World Trade Center.

After announcing plans to fight back against terrorism last week, the 
consortium of hacking groups, which calls itself the Dispatchers, 
vandalized on Sunday two Web sites operated by the Special Risks Terrorism 
Team, a unit of Aon Corporation, a Chicago-based risk management and 
insurance provider.

An attacker calling himself RaFa replaced the sites' home pages with a 
screed about the mission of the Dispatchers.

Aside from their Web addresses - Terrorism.uk.com and Terrorismteam.uk.com 
- it was not immediately apparent why the two sites were targeted for 
attack by the Dispatchers.

According to a message at Aon's main Web site, over 1,350 Aon employees 
worked in the World Trade Center Tower number two. In the message, CEO 
Patrick G. Ryan said approximately 200 Aon employees have not been 
accounted for.
