defacements post 11th September. This could be a result of the US Department
of Justice linking hacking to terrorism through the Surveillance and Anti-terrorism
Bill submitted to Congress on 19th September 2001. The UK Government’s Terrorism
Act 2000 in which the disruption of key computer systems was classified
as terrorism has also played a part in heightening awareness within the
hacking community.
