So far, we've weathered everything the hackers have thrown at us, but I have no doubt that when they get sufficiently motivated (and funded), they will eventually be able to cause website outages that take NewsTarget off line temporarily. It's really only a matter of time. But once the storm passes, we'll be back online (probably within hours), reporting on the situation. So if you ever see the NewsTarget site down, you can trust we're working on blocking the hackers and getting the site back online.

By attaching directional antennae to conventional access points, wireless hackers have been able to transfer data over tens of miles. These antennae don't have to be fancy. Wi-Fi hackers in the United States have built long-distance Wi-Fi antennae from Pringles potato chip cans.

A lot of spam is sent illegally through hijacked computers, which is where hackers get into computers and use open SMTP ports to get mail out. It costs them absolutely nothing for the bandwidth. Some of the larger spammers that I've looked at were citing $20,000 to 30,000 a month to pay for their operations in terms of bandwidth, phone lines and cable lines.

Those who do define themselves as artists usually operate outside contemporary art circles; you won't find their work in contemporary art exhibitions, magazines, or galleries. Regardless of context, these works accomplish what art should accomplish: they trigger new experiences that transform our perceptions of what is and what could be.

Wi-Fi hackers in the United States have built long-distance Wi-Fi antennae from Pringles potato chip cans. Using materials commonly available in Bamako, Mali —plastic water bottles, used valve stems from motorbikes, window-screen mesh, television and low-cost coaxial cables —a team from the volunteer organization Geekcorps has started producing long-range antennae designed to connect radio stations to the Internet, for less than a dollar apiece. In Himalayan Nepal, modified television antennae connect rural villages to an Internet access point 22 miles (35 kilometers) away.

And now, instead of cutting back with the end of the Cold War, the NSA apparently is expanding its activities in at least three new directions—international economic spying, a domestic war on computer hackers, and an ongoing battle with terrorists. During the tense auto trade negotiations in Tokyo in early 1995, the NSA eavesdropped on telephone conversations between Japanese automakers and Japanese government officials, passed it back to CIA headquarters at Langley for processing, and bounced minute-by-minute information back to the U.S. delegation in Tokyo (World Trade, June 1996).
