From: believer(a)telepath.com Subject: IP: Analysis of a Hack: Why was NYT Different? Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 04:09:43 -0500 To: believer(a)telepath.com Source: Online Journalism Review http://olj.usc.edu/indexf.htm?/sections/ September 17, 1998 Analysis of a Hack By Doug Thomas, Online Journalism Review Staff Columnist The following report is based in part on interviews conducted with Kevin Mitnick and John Markoff, two key people whose names were invoked as part of the September 13, 1998 hack of The New York Times Web site. On Sunday, September 13, a group calling themselves "Hackers for Girlies" hacked into The New York Times Web site, forcing the Times to take its site offline for nine hours - hours that happened to be on what was potentially one of the paper's biggest days in the paper's online history. According to the Times, traffic that was already up 35% on Saturday was expected to double on Sunday, in large part due to The New York Times' coverage of the Starr Report and the report's full text, which was also on the site. The hack, which was by all accounts a fairly sophisticated attack, is different from most previous hacks in a number of ways. There have previously been hacks of Web pages designed to express political dissatisfaction. The Department of Justice Web page, for example, was hacked in response to the passage of the Communications Decency Act. Sites of both the Conservative and Labor parties in Britain were hacked prior to elections. But this is the first hacking incident - which could also be considered a political intervention - where a major media outlet has been financially damaged over the public perception that their coverage was unfair. At the heart of the dispute is the case of Kevin Mitnick, and at issue for hackers is the question of Times technology reporter John Markoff's coverage of Mitnick's case. Mitnick, who has served the last three and a half years as a pre-trial detainee at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles, was the subject of several Times stories written by Markoff. He was ultimately the subject of a best-selling novel co-authored by Markoff and Tsutomu Shimomura, the San Diego-based security expert who helped the FBI track and capture Mitnick. Hackers allege that Markoff used his position at the Times to hype the story of Mitnick's arrest and capture - and to demonize Mitnick in the public imagination. These perceptions, according to the hacker community, account in large part for Mitnick's continued incarceration in a maximum-security jail and his denial of the right to a bail hearing. He is only four months from trial on a 25-count federal indictment for alleged hacking. In short, the message that hackers left on the Times Web site could be boiled down to this: They feel that the way hackers are covered by the mainstream media generally, and by The New York Times specifically, is unfair. They are disturbed both by what is written about hackers, as well as what stories are overlooked. The battle over such representations continues to be played out in the coverage of the hack itself. Mitnick learned of the Times hack through local radio broadcast reports, some of which described it as an "act of Internet terrorism" led by Mitnick. But Mitnick said in an interview that he was upset both by the incident and the subsequent coverage of it. The message that the hackers left Sunday came in two parts: the page that was displayed on the Times' Web site and the comments left in the HTML code, which were far more articulate than the hacker-speak that appeared on the surface. The hackers themselves indicate this in their P.S. "0UR C0MMENTS ARE M0RE 'LEET THAN 0UR TEXT. DOWNLOAD THE SOURCE T0 TH1S PAGE AND P0NDER 0UR W1ZD0M." It is in the comments embedded in the source code that the hackers describe "the real meaning" of the page, including supporting quotations from Tennyson, Voltaire and Milton. The hackers' central grievance stems from what they see as Markoff's involvement in the pursuit and capture of Mitnick. The Web page's message targets Markoff, specifically asking: "D0 YOU HAV3 N1GHTMAR3S ABOUT H3LP1NG 1MPRIS0N K3VIN? KN0WING THAT Y0UR LI3S AND D3C3IT H3LP3D BR1NG D0WN TH1S INJUST1C3?" What lies beneath the code in the comments spells out the hackers' complaint more directly: "The injustice Markoff has committed is criminal. He belongs in a jail rotting instead of Kevin Mitnick. Kevin is no dark side hacker. He is not malicious. He is not a demon. He did not abuse credit cards, distribute the software he found or deny service to a single machine. Is that so hard to comprehend?" Markoff, in an interview Tuesday, said his coverage of Mitnick's case was totally objective. After years of covering Mitnick and because of his close connections with Shimomura, Markoff said he found himself with "access to remarkable events" and wrote about them "as accurately and clearly as I could." "There were no dilemmas," he said. "I told my Times editors what I was doing every step of the way." Regarding the decision to make a Page One story of the FBI pursuit of Mitnick, he said: "I didn't place the story." "If hackers are upset and believe the story was hyped, they are targeting the wrong person," Markoff said. "Their quarrel is with the Times' editors, not me." Although the term given to Mitnick - "darkside hacker" - did figure prominently in Markoff's book, "Cyberpunk," which he co-authored with Katie Hafner, Markoff said that the "darkside" moniker was "created by the Southern California press." He said the term appeared in stories by both the Los Angeles Times and the Daily News in the San Fernando Valley well before he ever used it. Markoff thinks the hack against the Times has the potential to do "tremendous damage" to Mitnick. If Mitnick's defenders want to make the claim that Mitnick and people like him are "harmlessly wandering through cyberspace," Markoff said, an event like this is the "clearest example to contradict that." Emmanuel Goldstein, editor of the hacker publication 2600, sees things differently. "It's not what I would have done," Goldstein said. "But it got the story out. It is a story that has been suppressed for so long." The popular sentiment among hackers is that the coverage of the Mitnick case hyped his arrest and capture - by referring to him as the "Internet's Most Wanted," as a "cyberthief" and in some cases as a "terrorist" - but the press has paid little or no attention to issues of Mitnick's long incarceration without a hearing, the denial of his right to a bail hearing, or to the fact that the government has failed to provide Mitnick with access to the evidence to be presented against him. Even Markoff, who insists that he played no part in putting Mitnick in jail, indicated that he has "a lot of sympathy for Kevin," acknowledging that Mitnick is in a "difficult situation" and is faced with a "grim set of alternatives." But Markoff rejects the notion that anyone but Mitnick himself is responsible for his current situation. "Kevin made himself what he is," Markoff said. A statement from Mitnick's attorney, released on Monday, addressed the hack of the Times: "Kevin Mitnick appreciates the support and good wishes of those who speak out against his continued state of incarceration for years without bail. However, he does not encourage any individuals to engage in hacking pranks on his behalf. Kevin believes other avenues exist that can be more beneficial to his circumstances." Supporters were directed to the Mitnick Web site at www.kevinmitnick.com. In the aftermath of the hack, several issues remain. The New York Times will undoubtedly claim that the damage done to their site has cost them substantial lost revenue and a decrease in traffic and e-commerce. Goldstein, however, quarrels with the claim that any real damage was done. "They didn't trash the Times' Web site and they could have," he said, indicating that the hack was intended to send a message, rather than to do any serious damage. This is not the first time a Web site has been hacked in support of Mitnick. In fact, in December of 1997, hackers posted a threatening message at Yahoo!, demanding the release of Mitnick. While that incident can be dismissed as a prank, the Times attack is something altogether different. Even the message the hackers left on the Times' page criticizes other hackers for not having "a real purpose" and for not leaving a "meaningful statement" in their hacks. © Copyright 1998 Online Journalism Review Doug Thomas is a professor at the Annenberg School for Communication.

From: believer(a)telepath.com Subject: IP: Why is This Important? Read: The Politics of Hacking Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 04:19:59 -0500 To: believer(a)telepath.com ---------------------------- NOTE: Here is why the issue is important: "Mitnick has been incarcerated for three and a half years without a hearing and has had the evidence to be brought against him withheld from discovery." No habeas corpus. No hearing. No evidence. This man is a political prisoner to whom justice has been denied. Is he guilty? No one will ever know if there is never a trial. Presumption of innocence is obviously a thing of the past. ---------------------------- Source: Online Journalism Review http://olj.usc.edu/indexf.htm?/sections/ September 16, 1998 The Politics of Hacking By Doug Thomas, Online Journalism Review Staff Columnist Over the past few years there has been a decided shift in the way hackers think about the world. Born from an idealistic model of personal, individual achievement, the very idea of hacking has always been a singular and isolated phenomenon. In the early days, hackers rarely worked in groups or teams, preferring to hand programming solutions off to one another in the process of what they called "bumming code." Each time a program was handed off, it would be improved slightly and then passed along to the next hacker, and so on. Hackers of the 1980s and 1990s, who began to form loosely knit groups such as the Legion of Doom and Masters of Deception, practiced a similar ethic, whereby hackers would learn from one another, but generally the understanding was everyone for themselves (especially whenever someone got arrested!). That ethic, which began with the hackers of the 1960s and 1970s, is beginning to dissolve in the face of politics. Old school hackers are oftentimes disgusted by the antics of their progeny (and make no mistake they are their offspring). Indeed, many old-timers insist that today's hackers are unworthy of the moniker "hacker" and prefer to terminologically reduce them, calling them "crackers" instead. That distinction has never held much truck with me. It denies too much history, too many connections, and is often nothing more than a nostalgic, and very convenient, recollection of their own histories. The earliest hackers did most of what they criticize today's hackers for. Let's face it, they stole (the Homebrew Computer Club was famous for pirating code), they regularly engaged in telephone fraud (even Jobs and Wozniak built and sold blue boxes), they used all sorts of hacks to avoid paying for things (remember TAP? TAP stands for Technological Assistance Program; it was a newsletter put out by the Yippies that taught people how to use technology to avoid paying for things.), and they had no problem with breaking and entering or hacking a system if it meant they could spend more time on the mainframe. They also tended to forget a lot of things. Who paid for all those computers at Harvard, Cornell and MIT? Who funded ARPAnet? Could it be the same folks who were busily napalming indigenous persons halfway around the globe? And why were those computer labs shielded by 1" thick bullet-proof plexiglass during the 1960s? The old school history is not as simple as it sometimes appears. Yes, they were the geniuses who gave us the first PCs, but along the way, they tended to be implicated in a lot of nasty business, to most of which they were all too willing to turn a blind eye. I don't mean to suggest that old school hackers were not hackers, only that they weren't all that different from the new schoolers that they like to brands as criminals, crackers and the like. Where the old school seems to come off as (at best) forgetful, the new school has shown a new kind of commitment, something that is virtually unthinkable to hackers of yesteryear. The hackers of the late 1990s are becoming political. There is a new move to group action, political involvement and intervention. Recently, seven members of the Boston hacker collective, the L0pht, testified on Capitol Hill before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. As Peter the Great described in his write-up of the testimony: "Mudge gave a short, elegant statement which set the tone for the rest of the day's talks. He expressed his hope for an end to the mutual animosity that has long existed between the hacker community and the government and his sincere desire that the ensuing dialogue would pave the way towards civility and further collaboration between the two sides. This was a beautiful moment. It was as if a firm hand of friendship was being extended from the hacker community to the senate. I was moved, truly." This is a gesture that would have been virtually unthinkable only a few years ago. Even more dramatic is the fact that the Cult of the Dead Cow has a policy on China. In part, that policy was used in their justification for the release of Back Orifice, a computer security program that exploits vulnerabilities in Windows 95 and 98 operating systems. According to the cDc, Microsoft's decision to choose profit over human rights in supporting trade with China implicates them in the politics of oppression. The cDc has been working to support a group of Chinese dissidents, the Hong Kong Blondes, who are learning to use encryption and hacking techniques to stage interventions in Chinese governmental affairs to protest Chinese human rights violations. Most recently, at home, hackers have begun to band together in an effort to raise public awareness about the imprisonment of Kevin Mitnick, a hacker facing a 25-count federal indictment. Mitnick has been incarcerated for three and a half years without a hearing and has had the evidence to be brought against him withheld from discovery. In response to Miramax's decision to film Mitnick's story, hackers have banded together, launching a full-scale protest (among other things) in front of Miramax's offices in New York. Their campaign also includes letter writing initiatives, the distribution of "FREE KEVIN" bumper stickers, Web sites, T-shirts and even an online ribbon campaign. Another group recently hacked the New York Times Web site. The late 1990s marks a point in time when computers have begun to affect us in undeniably political ways. The globalization of technology, coupled with the power that the computer industry wields, makes hacking, in this day and age, essentially a political act. Some of the effects can be seen in the highly politicized trial of Kevin Mitnick and in the efforts to pass the WIPO treaty, legislation that makes hacking (even legal experimentation) a criminal act. The differences between old school and new school hackers are not as great as they might appear or as they are often made out to be. If there are differences, they reside in the fact that hackers today are stepping up and taking a kind of political responsibility that was altogether alien to their predecessors. The future of hacking goes hand in hand with the future of technology. In today's society we have passed the point where we can deny the import of such action based on some nostalgic vision of our relationship to computers and the world. It is high time that the hackers of yesterday take a long, hard and sober look at their own history and begin to recognize the ways in which the hackers of today are picking up and championing an agenda which the old school hackers can no longer hide from. © Copyright 1998 Online Journalism Review Doug Thomas is an Online Journalism Review staff columnist and a professor at the Annenberg School for Communication. ----------------------- NOTE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.

In another step toward becoming more taxpayer-friendly, the IRS announced Thursday a new statement that will be featured on its 1998 tax publications, displayed at IRS offices and put on its Internet Web site. The statement says that the IRS mission is to "provide America's taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all." This replaces a 1980s statement in which the first line stated that the IRS's main job was to "collect the proper amount of tax revenue at the least cost." "Words alone aren't going to change the IRS, but this serves an important purpose," said IRS Commissioner Charles O. Rossotti. "The mission statement will be a reminder that we must be dedicated on a day-in, day-out basis to serving taxpayers." The change is one of many that have followed passage in Congress of an IRS reform law aimed at moving the agency away from its heavy-handed past.

E-Privacy Dispute Could Go to WTO Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 15:12:58 -0500 To: believer(a)telepath.com Source: USIA http://www.usia.gov/current/news/latest/98092502.clt.html?/products/washfile /newsitem.shtml 25 September 1998 ELECTRONIC PRIVACY DISPUTE COULD GO TO WTO, EXPERT SAYS (U.S., EU still working for resolution) (510) By Bruce Odessey USIA Staff Writer Washington -- The U.S. complaint against European Union (EU) policy on electronic privacy could eventually wind up in the World Trade Organization (WTO), a Brookings Institution scholar says. Robert Litan, director of Brookings' economic studies program, said he could not predict what action the EU will take when its directive on data protection -- opposed by the United States -- enters into force in October. At a September 24 meeting of the Coalition of Service Industries (CSI) he speculated on some of the potential outcomes, however. At issue is the EU directive restricting the collection and use of personal information on the Internet. Most contentious is a provision prohibiting electronic transmission of personal information about EU citizens to countries that lack "adequate" privacy protection. Enforcement of that provision might mean, for example, that EU authorities might block U.S. companies in Europe from communicating electronically with their offices in the United States. Co-author of a forthcoming book on the electronic privacy issue, Litan guessed that, if the two sides cannot resolve the dispute, the EU might test its directive by imposing data embargoes on specific U.S. business sectors or on certain business practices. He noted that EU authorities have requested staff reports on four sensitive related issues: medical information, electronic commerce, airline reservations and personnel records. Litan also identified four service sectors he considered especially vulnerable to the directive: banking, insurance (especially health insurance), investment banking (especially merger and acquisition financing) and accounting. If the dispute ends up before a WTO panel, he said, the two sides could pick their arguments from different parts of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). He said the EU could base its argument on Article XXIV, which allows governments to protect the privacy of their nationals. The United States could base its argument on Article XXII, which prohibits discrimination against foreign providers, he said. In contrast with the EU, the Clinton administration has been pressing in the WTO and other multilateral and regional groups for minimal government regulation of electronic commerce. The administration has encouraged the emerging U.S. industry to engage in self-regulation instead. Litan said EU authorities have choices on whether to enforce the EU directive in a more or less intrusive way. For one example, they could distinguish between business and other personal information, he said. For another, he said, they could offer "safe harbor" exemptions for corporate communications, or for certain industries, or for certain equipment like laptop computers. He said big multinational companies will somehow cope with the EU directive, however it is enforced, possibly by entering into contracts with the EU. But Litan could not guess how small and medium-sized U.S. companies could afford the expense of working out special arrangements with EU authorities or how those authorities could enforce the directive against small companies doing business in cyberspace. "It's hopeless," he said. ----------------------- NOTE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.

IP: ISPI Clips 4.70:Canadian Internet Providers Draft Privacy Code

The Canadian Association of Internet Providers, which represents more than 120 providers, hopes industry efforts to regulate itself will stave off government action it says could lead to onerous and potentially harmful national regulations enshrined in law. "If it's extremely onerous for an international company to do business in Canada, they will not do business in Canada," Julie Garcia, senior counsel at America Online Inc. who helped develop the draft code, said. The code, intended to be voluntary, addresses concerns such as control and disclosure of users' personal information. It was drafted to ensure it complies with the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information. The Internet providers code sets out 10 privacy principles for the industry, including: * Internet providers are responsible for personal information under their control. * Providers must disclose reasons for collecting personal information. * Consent of users is mandatory for collection, use or disclosure of information. * Personal information can be disclosed without consent only as required by law. "The majority of CAIP members already have some kind of a privacy policy," said Margo Langford, chairwoman of the Internet association. "What we're really trying for here is uniformity. I don't think you'll find anybody that objects to the notion. Privacy is good for business." The Internet providers association says U.S. experience has shown that voluntary regulation works better than government law because it fosters competition among providers to meet user demands. Surveys have shown consumers are wary about using the Internet because of concerns about the privacy of their personal information. The federal government wants to introduce legislation early this fall to protect Internet privacy, especially for electronic commerce purposes, before Canada is host of an Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development conference in October. Ottawa established a group to study electronic commerce and it produced a paper on privacy that recommends legislation to address the very issues the Internet association's draft code covers. In addition, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission announced in July it would hold public hearings in November on whether it should get involved in regulating new media, including the Internet.
