Russian Computer Expert Predicts Internet Terrorist Attack | |
Anonymous Coward 08/22/2005 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | www.mosnews.com Russian Computer Expert Predicts Internet Terrorist Attack Created: 24.08.2004 18:27 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 13:38 MSK MosNews Terrorists will paralyze the Internet on August 26, a Russian expert in antivirus programs said on Tuesday. Speaking at a conference hosted by Russian Information Agency Novosti, Aleksandr Gostev from Kaspersky Labs said information on this terrorist attack was published on special websites. He did not elaborate. First of all, the United States and Western Europe will suffer from the attack, Gostev was quoted by the agency as saying. The head of the labs, Yevgeny Kaspersky, reminded the audience that similar attacks had earlier paralyzed the Internet in South Korea. He added that it would be “impossible” to stop terrorist organizations if they “get down to business”. The executive director of Dr.Web antivirus lab, Mikhail Bachinsky, quoted by Lenta.ru web agency said he had not heard of such an attack. “I do not believe in mass internet attacks because the main servers are defended, and Kaspersky Labs has been foretelling doomsday for a long time.” |
