1/21/2008: Intel News Brief: CIA Hunting International Computer
Hackers:

The CIA has launched a major hunt for international computer hackers
who are threatening to throw cities into chaos by sabotaging their
electricity supplies.

In a shock announcement last night the American spy agency said that
the hackers were running a massive extortion plot.

They are threatening to cut off city lighting and power supplies
unless they are paid huge sums of ransom money.

And according to senior CIA analyst Tom Donahue the hackers have
already proven that they can disrupt the utilities by causing
blackouts in several cities outside the US.

The CIA has refused to provide further details but intelligence
sources say that the cities where the hackers have caused outages were
in Central and South American countries including Mexico. The sources
said that in no case was a ransom paid and that the outages lasted for
only a few minutes. It is not known if the hackers have made any
further threats.
