Listing Site Updates
Under one of these subheadings, it's a good idea to list recent updates to my site so that visitors, especially return visitors, can check out the new stuff first. For example, I could list the date and a brief description of the update:
7/16/00 Added pictures of my vacation to the Photo page.
6/25/00 Updated the team schedule for the fall 200 season.
5/30/00 Added information about a new product my business offers.

Isn’t hacking immoral and/or illegal?
Don’t most hackers work “underground?”
Doesn’t releasing exploits help the bad

Man Pleads Guilty To Worm Attacks Against eBay, Others

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP)--A man pleaded guilty to infecting about 20,000 computers with a worm and using them to launch denial of service attacks against eBay Inc. and other online businesses in 2003.
Anthony Scott Clark, 21, of Beaverton, Ore., entered the plea Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Jose. He faces 10 years in prison, a ,000 fine, three years probation, and other penalties, the U.S. attorney's office said Wednesday.
According to court documents, Clark and unidentified accomplices used a worm that exploited a vulnerability in the Windows operating system to gain control of the computers. The "bots" were then directed to an Internet Relay Chat server, where they were given further orders.
Denial of service attacks are designed to overwhelm the target's servers, making it difficult for legitimate users to access sites. In a news release, U.S. Attorney Kevin V. Ryan said the attacks against eBay and other businesses took place in July and August 2003.
"We applaud law enforcement for bringing this man to justice," eBay spokesman Chris Donlay said. "We think this case will send a strong message that we will pursue anyone who tries to do something like this."
Clark's attorney, identified by the court as Vicki Young, did not return a message seeking comment.
U.S. District Judge James Ware has scheduled a hearing on sentencing for April 3.
