Hacker seizes Web radio stations

United Press International - April 14, 2000 21:31

LOS ANGELES, April 14 (UPI) - An alleged angry computer hacker who is operating out of Florida
has reportedly hijacked three online radio stations run by a Los Angeles company.

While they can't be picked up on a car radio - or any other kind of radio - the three electronic music
stations operated by EbandMedia have the potential of a worldwide audience since they were
available to listeners via the Internet.

The stations -- E101, Pro G, and Trance Invasion - were knocked off the air and "literally stolen from
their sophisticated server," said a release from Internet Incubator iWeb, the parent of EBandMedia.
The company said the incident appears to be the first case ever of "online radio cyber terrorism."

"We are quite concerned about this incident," said iWeb President James West. "We could incur a
multi-million dollar loss if the radio stations, which we hope this individual has saved on CD Rom,
are not returned safely to us."

The company said they have been fielding a stream of phone calls from listeners who are unable to
access the stations.

The alleged hacker is described as a disgruntled former employee and is being sought by police in
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
