      "Solar Sunrise Das Heraufdämmern einer neuen Bedrohung"   
so poetisch können gesetzlich ermächtigte Behörden  
werden, wenn sie sich als Filmemacher generieren, um der  
Welt eine neue Großbedrohung einzureden und der  
Notwendigkeit des heldenhaften Kampf  gegen das Böse in  
Gestalt dreier Buben, wie es der Analyzer und seine beiden  
Adepten waren.

As part of an effort to sell industry on its nascent computer  
crime investigation unit, the FBI has just completed an  
entertaining, slick video detailing how they caught three  
teenagers who were behind the famed February 1998  
information warfare attack on at least 11 Defense Department  
networks as the military prepared for a renewed war on Iraq.  
.. 
The video, "Solar Sunrise: Dawn of a New Threat," recounts  
how two California teenagers, coached by an Israeli teen  
hacker known as "Analyzer," routed through scores of  
networks to gain entry into unclassified Defense Department  
networks that housed sensitive troop deployment and  
logistics information. 
 
The hackers started on Feb. 3 and were tracked down by  
Feb. 25. The California boys are on three years of probation.  
The Analyzer is under indictment in Israel but is currently  
fulfilling his military service. 
 
The video was publicly shown for the first at a cyberterrorism  
conference in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. ... Concern  
exists in industry -- especially in the financial sector, where  
public perceptions can immediately affect the bottom line - --  
that bringing the FBI into a case of hacking increases the  
chances the incident will leak out to the public. In many  
cases, they have preferred to handle it with private security  
firms.
