Maybe a good name for a forum.....opinions?
Hacktivists are net-activists who use hacking and script techniques against corporate targets, such as Electronic Disturbance Theatre (EDT).
Unlike Hackers, Hacktivists are public about their intrusions, and will conduct virtual sit-ins on the information superhighway to crash a corporate site. As this often
brings down innocent routers and bottlenecks traffic, Hackers have a dislike for these public tactics, including the now well-known Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
Hacktivists, however, have been instrumental in publicizing wrongful actions: EDT's Floodnet software was used to cripple etoys.com after etoys tried to **** over net-
art site etoy.com, and EDT has held virtual sit-ins to highlight the fight of the Mexican Zapatista! rebels.
