Just last week we were having jokes on funsec@, of calling botnets
terrorism to get some action going. Of course, we decided that's an
extremely bad idea as people are already starting to discount issues
when "terrorism" or "2.0" are attached.
No, I am not going to say it, you are going to put them together on your
own! :)

Subject: [funsec] U.K. Case Shows Link Between Online Fraud and Jihadist
Networks

Brian Krebs writes in The Washington Post:

The global jihad landed in Linda Spence's e-mail inbox during the summer of
2003, in the form of a message urging her to verify her eBay account
information. The 35-year-old New Jersey resident clicked on the link
included in the message, which took her to a counterfeit eBay site where
she unwittingly entered in personal financial information.
Ultimately, Spence's information wound up in the hands of a young man in
the United Kingdom who investigators said was the brains behind a terrorist
cell that sought to facilitate deadly bombing attacks against targets in
the United States, Europe and the Middle East.
Investigators say Spence's stolen data made its way via the Internet black
market for stolen identities to 21-year-old biochemistry student Tariq
al-Daour, one of three U.K. residents who pleaded guilty this week to a
terrorism charge of using the Internet to incite murder.
