FBI FOIA Response Sheds New Light on Infamous Hacktivist Pentagon Incident

https://nscrutables.medium.com/fbi-foia-response-sheds-new-light-on-infamous-hacktivist-pentagon-incident-a44a318b4a46

This piece will chronicle not just the history of the Electronic Disturbance Theater and their SWARM (‘Stop the War in Mexico’) ‘FloodNet’ DDoS protest but also the history of the strand of 90’s hacktivism to which EDT belong to as well as change our understanding of what was at the time described as “appropriate countermeasures” by the Pentagon. This incident in 1998 was long thought to be the first ever digital counterattack or “hack back” of its kind against civilians by the US military, helping set a historical precedent back in the nineties.
