The 18 year old spokesman, known only by the name 'Venomous', is part of a small group of hackers calling themselves 'milw0rm'. Two other key players are 'JF' and 'savec0re'. The group broke into India's Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and changed its web page to produce an anti-nuclear message. The page has now been changed back, but the hacked version can still be seen at http://www.hektik.com/hacked/milw0rm12.html Venomous said he, and others like him, had strong views about the proliferation and testing of nuclear weapons. He said that protesting against nuclear testing was one thing, but changing the home page was far more effective, and that hacking was the protest tool of the future. He said they had also broken into the Cekmece Nuclear Research & Training Centre but had not changed anything. Yet. AFP ----- --- from list seminar-12-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
