service”strikes(involving flooding computers with fake requests fordata so that legitimate users are precluded from accessto the site).  \nWhile denialofservice attacks haveexisted formany years,technology advances allow coordinatedautomatedattacks from many computers atonce therebyincreasing the risk for Web sites.Eachof the Web siteshas advised that no personal or corporate data werecompromised by the attacks.  \nOver the past several days the companies havemet in Washington,D.C.with federal officials and haveinvolved the FBI in an investigation of unprecedentedintensity and scope to determine the location of thevandals involved in the attacks.The FBI's NationalInfrastructureProtection Center(NIPC)is coordinatingthe investigation.The attack was anticipated andevenpredicted in Nov.1999 by the Computer EmergencyReponse Team(CERT),a government fundedorganizationaffiliated with Carnegie Mellon University.CERT was created by the Dept.of Defense(DOD)anddesigned as a clearinghouse for Internet information.Lax security amongInternet companies invited thetypeof attack encountered and will be the subject of aCabinet meeting this week at the White House.  \nSome security consultants suggest that theidentity of the multiple hackers believed to be involvedwill inevitably becomeknown to investigatorsbecauseof the number of individuals probably involved andthrough the usual failing of disclosing one's identity totake credit.Informers abound among hackers.Whenthis happens,thee-businesses will aggressively pursueindividual investigations and prosecutions in an effortto dramatize and publicize the criminal nature of theactivity and the serious jail time which will followconviction,along with tougher laws.■  \nEDPWeekly
