Sun, Aug 22, 2004 at 4:41:38 pm PDT

Some Morlock crackerweenies apparently got into the Protest Warrior mailing list somehow, and they have published all the addresses at Indymedia New York: Protest Warrior Cracked.

They sent a nasty email to everyone on the list as well. Anyone know what mailing list software PW was using?

How brave of the little monkeys! They're f**king terrified, and they're getting desperate, and it's not going to be pretty.

BRING. IT. ON.

2 evariste  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:45:43pm

That really pisses me off, especially publishing the personal info of the people at the top of it.
The LLL keeps figuring out new ways to cross the line and go way too fucking far. If I knew who these people were I'd beat the living shit out of them.

3 Ms. Andi  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:47:04pm

Those a**holes. Maybe you can call them Charles, since they published their info. But then again, they're probably getting bombarded with moonbats harrassing them.

4 zulubaby  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:47:47pm

Is there nothing we can do about Nazimedia? This is just so wrong. They published their telephone numbers and home addresses! Scum.

5 goldsmith  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:48:29pm

That's their way, 'riste. They're cowards, they hide being their computers and their keffiyehs and snipe and harass and break the law, because that's the only way they can gain any ground. It's how terrorists and 'anarchists' work.

6 rabbiyoni  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:49:45pm

And to think, I justregistered last week for PW. Well, friends, this feels to me a little like a terroristic threat, that is to say, I feel personally violated and intimidated and I'm curious to see what happens from here. If I receive a harassing or threatening message, I might, if I can, seek legal recourse. I am not amused.

7 Ms. Andi  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:50:10pm

Fortunately, the home address here in Austin they published is actually a massive complex of hotels rooms, apts. and offices that is gated off. I doubt they could find them easily.

8 Darleen  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:50:19pm

I posted this on another thread (apologies) but DC Indymedia is doing the same thing.

9 Pamela  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:50:44pm

so far I haven't gotten any nasty emails yet, maybe they did not get the complete list??


I think this shows thier desperation. Like little children acting out in frustration of facts.

10 Kevin Shook  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:50:51pm

SCREW THE LITTLE ANARCHISTS! My name and e-mail is on that list and I am PROUD of it! I don't hide underneath a hood or mask like some member of the KKK or Hammas. I'm not ashamed of my words or actions!

11 Ms. Andi  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:52:04pm

Yeah my address in on there, is there any recourse if they harrass me via email or phone?

12 Elcid  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:53:24pm

I have a funny feeling that something bad will happen to, or at Indymedia, call it a premonition.

13 Darleen  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:53:37pm
If you decide to help out, you do so on your own terms and accept responsibility for what might happen.

Excuse my fr*nch...but fucking pussie cowards

14 zulubaby  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:53:58pm

I am the most paranoid person, if my name were on that list I'd be freaking out. I'm freaking out anyway, on behalf of everyone else. This is sinister.

22 Darleen  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 2:58:40pm

I would suggest that anyone who's private info was published by Indymedia get in touch with their local District Attorney's and start putting pressure. The hosting server companies must be notified of possible criminal liability if they don't immediately remove this information and boot Indymedia.

California is cracking down on Identity theft and cyber-crimes. But only a lot of pressure gets this stuff off the ground.

As far as I know, hacking is a crime. Nazimedia has the IP address of whoever posted that, and the bastard's ISP has name and address. I expect his asshole to be substantially enlarged during his stay in jail.

You and me both. I'm not as paranoid as I was, I like my privacy tho.

With any luck they've got a nice list of logs showing who did it.

My guess would be a bloody script kiddie, no skills, no brains, no talent, no life. This shows exactly what type of people they are, I'd like to see the FBI getting involved about now.

Both a primary and proxy address are now toast. Just beautiful...come to my front door ya little bottom feeders. I've got a fist full of love for you.

33 Belize042  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 3:04:25pm

I'm not registered with PW, but if I were, the prospect of hate e-mail from these losers worries me somewhat less than the fact that several former Nigerian government officials have my email, and want me to help them in a suspicious financial scheme.

34 Ms. Andi  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 3:05:31pm

Have all those who signed for Operation Liberty have all their plans worked out? Do y'all email and/or call each other?

The email I received from the hacker was the same email used for the HQ membership rather than the regular PW newsletter. HQ requires people's phone numbers so they can verify who is in their operations.

Any of those little s**ts call me, I'm going ballistic.

35 Dave Ray  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 3:06:44pm

There's no need for the Bruce...from scanning the list I notice quite a few US Army e-mail addresses...just hope they're big burly Marines with short tempers

36 Cornholio  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 3:07:18pm

To those whose emails were listed, I would not lose sleep over it. The hacker described himself as an "anarchist" - not exactly the most organized of the LLL.

They are a bunch of punk kids who vandalize the Gap and kick in Starbucks windows. They'll never amount to more of a threat than that.

38 newscaper  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 3:09:03pm

And how typical fo the LLL scum to sacrifice their own followers with misinformation.

What do I mean? By saying that DOS attacks are not "hacking" -- as in actual intrusion -- they are implying to their dumber followers, the potential script kiddies, that DOS is not breaking the law.

That is a 100% freakin' lie -- to their OWN PEOPLE!!!

Um, who is the Nazi that wrote that article?

These artists document a modern diaspora. The Palestinians are predominantly Muslim, some Christian and occasionally Jewish Arabs who are originally from what is now the state of Israel and its occupied territories.

I nearly just fell off my chair.

51 Kevin Shook  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 3:14:59pm

I have sent a complaint to the NYCIndy website. Appears that they have a "Moderator" who approves such postings. I'm asking them to remove my e-mail address, give me the name of their 'moderator' who approved the posting and the information on the person who sent the posting. I have also threatened to file a complaint with the NY AG's office. Any other suggestions?

52 Charles  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 3:15:38pm

These are weenies, not serious hackers. They almost certainly exploited a known vulnerability in whatever mailing list software the Protest Warriors were using.

The attack looks like it was limited to the mailing list. There's no sign that they actually got into the PW web site.

But it's bad enough that they got all those addresses. That's why I asked if anyone knew what software they were using?

53 Cornholio  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 3:15:41pm

#30 RightIsRight 

I can't wait until these punks try to "take on" the NYPD.

Neither can I.

Here are some interesting links about the anarchists' tactics (If you can call this "tactics")

Unarresting an activist(s) is quite simple: when an activist is arrested, the bloc of anarchists acts swiftly to pull that person free from the cops. Sometimes a tugging match is required to free the activist, but if you have the element of surprise, you can usually be successful because the cops are so shocked that activists aren't playing the game correctly (i.e. negotiating their own imprisonment). Unarresting work in two situations: 1) where you have a few cops and several activists involved; or 2) when the unarresting bloc outnumbers the officers by a ratio of 3:1 or better.
. . . .
Obviously, unarresting a person is more important if the arrested person has done something that would lead to felony charges. Play to win!

Thugs who wear masks in public and then try to stop police from making lawful arrests deserve a major New York aswhuppin.

They've got the addresses from the PWHQ database sure enough, that's the only place I've used my primary. My proxy is tossed as well, which was used on the forums.

Their 'upstream' provider is AT&T. Their hoster is 'freespeech.org' a progressive group that 'say this is what democracy looks like'. Bottom feeders.

It's definately a partial list. They have over 7000 members.

Those little brats. I hope they make total fools of themselves. Did anyone see this? Looks like the PWs are going to have some street theatre of their own.

Any new tactics you can share that you have planned for New York?
We’re going to be involved in some street theater. Everyone knows the left does have a monopoly on this. We’re going to have a group called Communists for Kerry. They’re Protest Warriors who will dress up as their favorite communist leaders. We have one guy who’s a spitting image of Lenin. He’s a dead ringer. We have another who’s growing out a beard to dress up like Che Guevara. And they’re going to be walking around with their own banner, telling people why they should vote for Kerry, and why the American communist movement supports Kerry. We have some other ideas that we’re developing, but that gives you a little taste.

I am not surprised the left hacked the PW site. THe leftist all know about PWs now and it is driving the, crazy!

5 Protest Warriors (PWs) from WA state witnessed the true fist of leftist fascism today at Operation Heat Wave Part II located at Green Lake in Seattle and it was not pretty. Approximately 350 lefties rallied together to stomp out freedom of speech both physically and verbally.

The leftites told their sheeple that 40 Pws attacked an elderly woman in a wheel chair last week. ( there was not even a wheel chaired person at the event last week). Also, two new PWs busted some leftist handing out fliers to shoppers at a local cafe that had lies about the PWs and our pictures with Nazi symbols super imposed on our shirts.

The leftists assigned a "peace keeper" to each of us to ensure that we did not get violent with any of the “peace” activist. The irony was, the “peace keepers” actually ended up having to protect us. That is right, they had to repeatedly ask the "peace" protesters not to touch us and to step back or calm down. My very own personal "peace keeper" told me to "fuck off" for no reason. Thank goodness for the peace keepers. About as useful as the UN peace keepers.

I am a tad freaked out about how violent, angry, vulgar and hateful the "pacifist" leftist were. There were 350 of them vs our 5 and they still felt the need to physically intimidate us, block our signs, push us off the walk ways, and yell profanities at us. Amazingly creepy.

The main page used by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's minions for their snuff film releases was hacked yesterday and shut down. The hackers left this message "Hostem...watch out...we B cominz for you"

The hacker group calls itself 'TeaMz UsA' and replaced Zarqawi's site with a large American flag and a pic of UBL crossed out.

[Link: www.frontpagemag.com...]

Teresa Heinz Kerry has financed the secretive Tides Foundation to the tune of more than $4 million over the years. The Tides Foundation, a “charity” established in 1976 by antiwar leftist activist Drummond Pike, distributes millions of dollars in grants every year to political organizations advocating far-Left causes. The Tides Foundation and its closely allied Tides Center, which was spun off from the Foundation in 1996 but run by Drummond Pike, distributed nearly $66 million in grants in 2002 alone. In all, Tides has distributed more than $300 million for the Left. These funds went to rabid antiwar demonstrators, anti-trade demonstrators, domestic Islamist organizations, pro-terrorists legal groups, environmentalists, abortion partisans, extremist homosexual activists and open borders advocates.
...
The antiwar movement often boasted that MoveOn.org and the radical website Indymedia provided them “alternate media coverage.” Indymedia, an enormous news and events bulletin board with local pages in most of the world’s major cities, provided a vital link for radical activists often with violent agendas to coordinate their protests. Indymedia received $376,000 from the Tides Foundation.

An interesting link, don'tcha think?

Radian: I've been on the radar of those goons for quite a while now. For a while someone was posting fake news stories at Indymedia, claiming I had been arrested for child molestation.

I've detected and/or fended off several attempted attacks against LGF, one of which tried to insert (into our referrers page) a UNIX system call that would have deleted all files on our server as soon as someone viewed the page -- if I were stupid enough to leave a hole like that.

Every day our error logs show probes for known vulnerabilities.

This is a big advantage to having custom-written all the software that runs LGF. There are no known vulnerabilities that can be passed around in the caverns of the Morlocks.

80 gbl  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 3:43:10pm

This is truly pathetic that any group has to stoop this low to hack into information regarding attendees at the RNC and/or the Protest Warriors mailing lists. These are the same people who bitch and moan about the Patriot Act being abused (it has not) by our government to get “personal” information and “looking” into our lives. And they have the audacity to call us “brown shirts”.

I am not surprised the left hacked the PW site. THe leftist all know about PWs now and it is driving the, crazy!

Sure does. We have been having fun with them each week here in Dallas. One of our guys got pushed out into oncoming traffic, luckly, the SUV stopped in time. The police now keep them away from us.

I swear, some of their cars are held together only by all the bumper stickers they have on them.

Someone a few days ago was posting about the first Operation Heat Wave and that the PWs outnumbered the peaceniks. I guess word got out. LOL!

The peaceniks always get pissy about the PWs and sure enough, some story will come out about "someone being attacked by the PWs." Even though they (the PWs) are filmed, photographed, followed to their cars, licience #'s taken down and, of course, personal info posted on the web, not one has been able to publish any proof whatsoever of any violence committed by any PW.

LOL! My brother was given a car by his ex-GF's daughter, all painted with salmon and FULL of stickers (one said "Forced lobotomies for Republicans" Nice)
He peeled them all off but kept the lovely paint job. Last week he asked me for a GW sticker and put it on, which'll probably turn heads (if the paint job didn't already) since my bro has a long haired "grunge" appearance.

Normally, when a site is hacked the admin has to shut it down to do a complete security audit. This of course costs a significant amount of money. While the hacker may not be tracable, Indymedia -- by publishing the list and hackers message (vetted by an editor no less) seems like they may be liable.

Looking at the amount of money Indymedia seems to operate with I would say PW should talk to a lawyer. familiar with law and the internet.

Folks might want to keep copies of that page.

109 Ed Moran: Abu GOMEX aoa 28C  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 4:05:45pm
Operation Liberty Rising is right. The Republicans think that they can rape NYC and the 9/11 attacks to further their political agenda of endless war and breaks for the rich upper classes and multinational corporations. The people of New York are rising up to let them know that they won't be getting away with it. Millions of people in the streets will be shutting the convention down, and your extremist right-wing minority can do nothing to stop it.

We're not fighting to put Kerry in office, and we're certainly not fighting for a socialist dictatorship. We are building a society free from all parasitic ruling classes... Democrats, Republicans, they're all on the same party of capitalism and the state. We dream of a world free from presidents and politicians who exploit us enslave us and do everything except represent us. We've had enough, and we will settle for nothing short of total world liberation for one and all. And we're willing to do whatever it takes to achieve these visions of a free society.

Isn't the idea of protesting or joining a group like Protest Warrior to get the word out? You guys often blast trolls who choose to be anonymous and now your upset about your privacy being invaded? Fuck. Your WARRIORS. Be proud and revel in your warriorness. Bring it on is right.

That site wasn't hacked and it wasn't cracked. Someone found (or more likely read about) a vulnerability in the mailing list software they use and was able to harvest the subscriber emails. It almost certianly a known vulnerability and if your on it I would expect a sudden influx of spam. Don't think for a second Indymedia has anyong on a professional spammer, if they have it, so do a gazillion marketers.

Myself, I'd be talking to the manager of ProtestWarrior and asking why he didn't bother to read the forums, patch his software or subscribe to the developer list for whatever piece of crap software he is using. This isn't blaming the victim, this is expecting someone who posts a privacy policy to educate himself enough that he can enforce it.

So I would imagine it was easy to get that info and copy it over to their site.

I made the cut! I'm on the list!

Looking for somebody who *knows* the answer : is this truly an actionable event? Can we go after IndyMedia and their deep deep pockets?

The irony of class-action lawsuit eating up Tides Foundation money appeals to me. I don't even care if the parasites^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H lawyers keep it all.

Professor Kaos, 8500! That's too cool.

I think before their FOX debut, they were around 3000. That's a big jump in just a couple of months.

Stealing is stealing. Get that straight, otherwise it bloody well is blaming the victim.

And, while the thought of some damn fool appearing in a mask at my door makes me giggle as the old Celt rises in me, it's not funny for someone with kids. Whatever I may think, and however proud I may be to be a member of PW, it's still an invasion of my privacy. I never gave the cracker permission to publish my e-mail addy. I certainly never gave indymedia permission to do so.

If legal action can be brought, I will join. I don't care too much about money, but I want them punished for allowing this garbage on their site.

176 Bernadette  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 5:00:06pm

I'll go back and search for mine again to be sure it's not there, but didn't find it.

By doing a "find on this page" I should know, right?

177 Rant Wraith  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 5:02:22pm

The Leftists are playing with fire. Do they really want to go tit-for-tat with Right-wing hackers? Do the pencil neck vegetarians and pasty face grad students really want violence in the streets?

I think it's a lot of this is armchair radicalism with no substance behind it. If push came to shove and some real hardasses showed up at their little rally and started busting heads the Leftist wennies would sob and beg for the same police that they normally scream at and call facists.

I'm not advocating counter-violence against these assholes, but if they keep pushing people like this, eventually something will happen.

#77. I am a 5 ft 105 lb female who was attacked by a 50 yr old pacifist a couple of weeks ago and have it all on camera. Martial arts would be great, but honestly, carrying mace for protection and having the police called in advance in our best chance of not being harmed by these violent leftists. The best tactic against these lefties is the element of surprise. Shock and Awe campaign of leftist opposition always throws them off.

I'm 5'3", and these days, I'm very slow and stiff, to the point where I'm contemplating using a cane. The trouble with mace is, it's not all that effective, and the police just don't get there in time. There are some simple techniques, mostly involving knowing how to avoid getting hit, that I strongly recommend learning. You're exactly the sort of good person I worry about, because these jerks focus on you, not on the six foot guy with shoulders that blot out the sun.

I am not a soft target, but I've been mistaken for one a few times. I know mace makes you feel safer, but please find someone who can show you the simple stuff that keeps you from getting hurt. It's important, at least to me.

Well.

The little fuckers didn't get my email addy somehow but I almost wish they had. I am SO fucking tired of the blatant hypocrisy, ignorance and general nonsense that I have about had it.

This is bigger than just the upcoming election and I think a lot of you realize this - things are building towards some sort of crescendo and it's not going to be a happy one. I may sound like a freaking kook, but can any of you honestly tell me that an all-out civil war is impossible? Far-fetched, possibly... possibly.

I'm too smoking pissed to make much sense right now, if any of you are in/near Asheville and would like to compare notes, get some actions plans in place or just shoot the shit, email me.

Also, I wasn't going to go to the RNC but I most certainly am now - if anyone in my neck of the woods wants to try to coordinate transportation, I'm game. I have an ozone destroying 5.9L Jeep Grand Cherokee, a horrible attitude and a brand new S&W .40.

A male on female assault in my state is justifiable homicide. My wife is armed and knows that she will any loose any physical fight with a man. If she can not get away or diffuse she will put shots in the 10 ring.

Mace works, but there is no question that a 9mm will work better. Most people run away when a weapon is drawn and fired.

If you do mace someone, be sure to spray their eyes and hands.

Reposting...
Check out this website (sorry about the long thread, not used to commenting on this site). This is the email that was sent out to all the left wing groups in Seattle in order to combat the "warmongers" that crashed Seattle longest running "peace vigil." This is the email that whipped 350 people into a frenzy of hatred, violence and anger against 5 little Protest Warrior.
misc.activism.progressive

My favorite lines are:

"I don't think that it should ever look like there are more Bush supporters there than progressives"
[Link: 64.4.18.250...]

"By the way, the republican folks were mostly quite friendly, and did not pose any threat to any of us. A bit obnoxious perhaps, with some of their questions, but there is no need to respond to them as they already knowthe "correct" answers."

Classic! These lefties could actually be funny if they were not so scary.

Their plans for the RNC are also available...

NYPD is ready for these anarchist idiots. Maybe Indymedia, an anarchist hangout, is already being investigated:

Sources say the NYPD has identified 56 primary anarchists who will be followed 24 hours a day. One supervisor and six cops will be assigned to each person.

Sources say detectives are leaving this weekend for Boston, Washington D.C., North Carolina, and California to begin surveillance and tail the protestors as they travel to New York.

I am the most paranoid person, if my name were on that list I'd be freaking out. I'm freaking out anyway, on behalf of everyone else. This is sinister.

No, zulubaby, I am the most paranoid person. For good reason. You wouldn't believe the effort I've expended to protect my identities. I've expunged all trace of who I am from the Web, with one g*ddamn pesky exception that seems unexpungable. Makes me very very nervous, this one line in one Web page that hasn't even been accessed in 5 years. And it doesn't even reveal who I am -- it just makes a connection between one online persona and another. Now that's paranoid.

Back on topic: this is war. Indymedia just attacked. And not metaphorical war: REAL war. The battle on the internet is practically as important as the battle in "meat-space."

Things are getting very serious. I am girding myself.

196 Queen_Meroe  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 8:06:30pm

Oh my gosh!

That's terrible what Indymedia did! I'm sure they would be wholly pi$$ed if "conservatives" did the same thing. If you want to protest against the RNC and Bush, that's ok, but to resort to publishing everyone's email address and personal info b/c they don't agree with the multiculturists (many of whom are anarchists) is just going to far. Isn't there some legal action that can be taken to get Indymedia shut down? This goes against the right of privacy BIG TIME. This is despicable beyond words. These are our "fellow American citizens" doing this! I really don't know who's worse: Muslims or these American "peace activists".

I just checked their list and I'm not on it. I live in NYC and I'm a little scared at what these anarchists will do when the RNC comes to town in days time. I heard rumors that these "activists" wanted to release rats into restaurants and such!!! You know rats, lil' animals that carry such "peaceful" diseases such as AIDS, plague or even worse...

God! Maybe I should read Orwell's "1984"...I heard many people recommend this book. They say with what's going on now, Orwell predicted that the world would get this stage. Whoever had their email and personal info violated by indymedia, I hope you're successful in getting your info removed.

Btw which more secure, postgres or MySQL?

postgres, according to vulnerability incident reports.

I prefer FreeBSD myself. But, I'm poor!

Sorry to be pedantic, but the source of this kind of attacks is not usually on the kernel nor on the SQL engine, but on bugs of the web application. It is, if the app has an unsecured way to disclose information, the backend doesn't matter at all.

This is, assuming this was a code injection exploit (it sounds like one), not a stack smashing like code red or the likes.

OK, I'm too lazy to google about rats carrying AIDS but even if fleas on rats are responsible for plague, I still wouldn't want to be in Starbucks, enjoying a caramel macchiato and some "peaceful anarchist" decides to go against a big corporation by unleashing rats into the place of business. The point I was trying to make was these peace activists can be downright nasty when the situation arises, and that situation is the RNC. Maybe nothing bad will happen...but then again..."maybe" something will...I just hope for the best (Am I an optimist?)

200 Egfrow  Sun, Aug 22, 2004 10:46:02pm

I think these wackos underestimate an important factor when they try to use these intimidation tatics. I think they actually believe we won't defend ourselves or can't figure out who is behind it. They are in for a shock. These people don't even understand what real violence is. It's just a juvenille fantasy. Those who have experience brutal raw violence would never talk like that.

Use of deadly force is authorized against someone about to perform an act of arson on a building that could be occupied by people.

Inside the house, in this state, you can use deadly force if you are in fear for the life of someone in the house. It's the Make My Day Law. My scout platoon sergeant used it, before it became a law. We suspect he didn't call the police until the stupid burgler had just about bleed to death after being shot with a large caliber pistol in the thigh.

I'd take any such message sent to me personally as evidence to justify a concealed carry permit. And I'd bring it the attention of the police. May as well start building the case.

With regard to OpenBSD:

a.) Most computer security professionals consider OpenBSD's security features to be rather worse than their advertising suggests. Contact me off list for some examples of security holes they have introduced into their code by blindly applying code `audits' and not listening to suggestions from people who know what they're doing. Both of the other BSD projects, particularly NetBSD, have a much better record on providing, rather than claiming, security.

b.) Theo DeRaadt, the founder and autocratic leader (his words) of the OpenBSD project is a paid-up card-carrying moorlock moonbat, who recently talked himself out of a juicy government grant by insisting that he was not willing to `write code which might support US oppression in Iraq' or some such moonbatry.

"People should not get their knickers in a twist over this." -- Gruen

Not so much over the fact that that site's data files were hacked. But over the item that is being addressed a few doors up the hall from here, i.e., the threat e-mail.

I don't care if it was merely e-mail and the dweeb who sent it is a sadistic drunk, it's still communicating a 'threat'. And it's against the law.

There may be too many such cretins out there for the police to deal with, so one had better be prepared to deal with them oneself, should the necessity arise.

Hi, I volunteer for PW, and I am repsonsible for most of HQ, including its security and overall design.

Fist I want to sincerely apologize for any inconvience I may have indirectly caused. We are not sure how they got in, but I have been busy plugging any possible holes -- including putting in sleepless nights to relaunch a more secure version of HQ. A security analyist took a look at our code base, and less than 24 hours later, we have plugged the holes he audited.

What you need to worry about.
about 1 out of 4-5 PWer's emails (around 2400) were collected.
you could be spammed.

What you don't need to worry about.
Hackers getting ahold of your personal information.
We know they didn't have access to anyone's personal data. That remained secure, and beyond thier reach.

Again, thanks for your consdiration and support, and I hope this doesn't change your relationship with ProtestWarrior, or your willingness to join our fight to make America a little saner place.

New Yourk's rats say, "bring it on!"

[Link: www.agrizap.com...]

Adams has been hunting and killing New York's notorious ''super rats'' for 27 years, but city agencies and politicians now are scurrying like never before to rout the extraordinarily fecund rodents, which spread fear and uncleanliness across the city and can cause disease.

As long as there are rats, health authorities say, there is the potential for rodent-borne disease such as the plague, which has never occurred in New York. A rodent-borne illness called leptospirosis has been diagnosed in only two people in the last 10 years in New York; otherwise the city has been free of such diseases.

Experts have no precise way of counting New York's rat population, but estimates range from as low as 8 million -- about one rat per person living in the city's five boroughs -- to as high as 25 million.

So who is winning the war on rats?

``I'm gonna tell you: Nobody's winning. But we're not losing,'' said Adams, who specializes in baiting his prey and artfully applying poison powder and pellets to kill rats, according to his colleagues on the Rat Patrol.

Adams said he has developed methods to bait rats, which are neophobic (that is, they avoid the unfamiliar and stick to familiar surroundings and familiar food).

Scientists say rats live about a year. A female can conceive at two months old and can become pregnant again just 48 hours after giving birth to a litter, which usually numbers five to seven rats.

216 piglet  Tue, Aug 24, 2004 4:02:39pm
The description ``rats as big as cats'' has become an urban legend and part of the city's lexicon, but in reality, Gibson says, they do not grow that large. He said the biggest reach 18 inches from the top of the head to the tip of the tail.

Hey everyone, I have a question, and I would appreciate any response...
I saw that my e-mail address DID get onto that list.
The thing I was wondering is, can someone find out your home address information/telephone number/etc, the information that is registered with your email address (it is my private one through my ISP), JUST by knowing your email address? I know that there are websites out there that claim to search an email address that you give them to see who it belongs to.
So I went to one of those sites and it had a disclaimer saying "* Disclaimer: We limit retrieval to documents or information available from a public entity or public utility which are intended for public use and do not further elaborate on that information contained in the public entity or public utility records."
So does that mean that they can't find anything out just by knowing an email address?

Just curious. I highly doubt they'd spend the $40 bucks for it anyway, but I was just wondering about it.

By the way, has anyone who's email was on the list been getting sent any viruses? My anti-virus software has caught two already, both Netzky...
