Alert 02-003
August 5, 2002
On the afternoon of August 5, 2002, the National Infrastructure
Protection Center received credible, but nonspecific information that
wide-scale hacker attacks against U.S. websites and Internet Service
Providers (ISP) are being planned for later tonight, possibly emanating from
Western Europe.
The purpose of this alert is to recommend that website and ISP
administrators heighten their awareness of network traffic during this
period and encourage them to report suspected malicious activities to their
local FBI office www.fbi.gov/ <http://www.fbi.gov/> or the NIPC and to
other appropriate authorities. Recipients may report incidents online at
www.nipc.gov/ <http://www.nipc.gov/> , and can reach the NIPC Watch and
Warning Unit at (202) 323-3205, (888) 585-9078, or nipc.watch@private
<mailto:nipc.watch@private> .
The NIPC intends to update this alert should it receive additional
relevant information, including information provided to it by the user
community.
