---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 08 Jan 2003 11:25:18 -0800 From: Declan McCullagh To: politech () politechbot com Cc: MMilone () NYMEX com Subject: FC: Mark Milone on "Hacktivism: Securing the National Infrastructure" Thanks to Mark for making this available to Politech readers, and apologies for the delay. I've placed his article here: http://www.politechbot.com/docs/hacktivism.milone.010803.doc --- From: "Milone, Mark" To: "'declan () well com'" Subject: Hacktivism: Securing the National Infrastructure Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 09:26:33 -0500 Hi, Declan. I hope that this message finds you well. Attached please find my article, which was published in this month's The Business Lawyer. Although TBL has the right of first publication, I would like to find a site to host the article and I would like to publish the following blurb with a link to the article: The foundations of modern society - communications, power, transportation, banking, water supply and public institutions - depend on interconnected computer systems to operate properly. Hostile groups threaten this "National Infrastructure" by exploiting the strengths and weaknesses intrinsic in its architecture. Activists that utilize networked forms of organization, doctrine, and strategy to protect civil liberties and spread democratic values in cyberspace present an invaluable resource in securing these systems. These "hacktivists," however, must be provided with the appropriate incentives and protections to encourage coordination with government actors. Facilitating this alliance will require an understanding of the relationships between technology, law and policy in a democratic, networked society. Please let me know if you would be interested in hosting/republishing the article. Have a happy holiday! Mark G. Milone Associate General Counsel New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc.
