Serb Hackers Disrupt NATO E-Mail
Wednesday, March 31, 1999; 10:27 a.m. EST

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- NATO said Wednesday that Yugoslav computer hackers are inundating its web site with viruses and firing off thousands of e-mails each day, overloading the site.

''We have been dealing with some hackers in Belgrade who have hacked into our web site and caused line saturation of the server,'' NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said.

''Our e-mail system has also been saturated by one individual who is currently sending us 2,000 e-mails a day, and we are dealing with macro viruses from Yugoslavia into our e-mail system,'' Shea added.

NATO officials said the disruption was limited to the web site and e-mail system and was not affecting military computers.

NATO began air assaults on Yugoslavia last Wednesday in response to a deadly, widespread Serbian crackdown on ethnic Albanians in the southern province of Kosovo.
