National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) Information System Advisory
00-040;
Electronic protest actions to coincide with the so-called "Global Action
Against Capitalism," scheduled to take place on or around May 1, 2000.


Information received by the NIPC indicates that computer activists may
employ various types of cyber disruption techniques, in support of a
so-called "Global Action Against Capitalism," scheduled to take place on or
around May 1, 2000. International financial and trade agencies are the most
likely targets for this action. Past cyber-protests have included web page
disruptions and denial of service attacks, including "virtual sit-ins." A
"virtual sit-in" occurs when web- browsers repeatedly request a web page and
the volume of requests overwhelms the web-server.

Recipients are asked to report significant or suspected criminal activity to
their local FBI Office or the NIPC Watch and Warning Unit, and to other law
enforcement agencies and Computer Emergency Response entities, as
appropriate. The NIPC Watch and Warning Unit can be reached at (202)
323-3204/3205/3206, or at nipc.watch@fbi.gov.
