    [Politechnicals should recall that Attrition.org has compiled a set of 
    mirrors of hacked pages. You can read the correspondence -- a nasty little 
    spat -- at the URL below. --Declan]

        Kimble & YIHAT Morons Threaten Attrition

        For those who haven't heard of "Kimble" (aka Kim Schmitz, kimble.org,
        kill.net, YIHAT founder, etc), he is in the limelight again. As usual,
        he is peddling his fraud and lies yet again, this time riding the
        coattails of "anti-terrorism" to make a fast buck and get free media
        attention.
    
        In short, this charlatan has created YIHAT (Young Intelligent Hackers
        Against Terror) to supposedly track down terrorists online. The goal
        is to find them, identify them, and h4x0r them so they can't use their
        electronic funds etc. First making news by offering a 10 million
        dollar bounty on Osama Bin Laden, Kimble has now moved on to claiming
        his band of vigilante hackers have broken into banks owned by Bin
        Laden.
    
        Today, one of the YIHAT monkey's contacted me and told me to "keep an
        eye on" a defacing group known as G-force Pakistan. His reasoning for
        this comment was the claim that Attrition hosted a G-Force Pakistan
        web site, which he referenced as
        http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2000/11/03/www.jen.co.il/.
    
        Apparently YIHAT and this monkey did not bother to read anything on
        Attrition or take a moment to understand what the Attrition Mirror was
        all about. Instead, they accused of us of harboring or assisting a
        "terrorist cell".
