Forwarded From: Nicholas Charles Brawn <ncb05t_private> Serb Hackers Declare Computer War 22-10-1998 16:31 BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) -- A group of Serbian computer hackers declared a cyber war against Internet sites the hackers say are anti-Serb, a Belgrade newspaper reported today. A young man, who phoned and identified himself as member of a team of hackers known as Black Hand, also claimed responsibility for the crash of a Kosovo Albanian site on the World Wide Web. "We shall continue to remove (ethnic) Albanian lies from the Internet," the young man was quoted by the newspaper Blic as saying. The site was up again today, but its webmaster Edmond Hajullaaga confirmed that it had been crashed "several times in the past three days." The caller said the five-member group next plans to hack NATO's site, but gave no further details. Ethnic Albanian media and organizations in Serbia's troubled Kosovo province have for several years used the Internet to reach a world audience. Recently, the Serbian government has also created several Web sites. At the turn of the century, a group of Serbian officers known as Black Hand planned a coup. The officers are believed to have been behind the execution of a Serbian crown prince and his common-law wife. -o- Subscribe: mail majordomot_private with "subscribe isn".
