******* http://www.attrition.org/news/content/01-10-22.001.html Kimble & YIHAT Morons Threaten Attrition Mon Oct 22 20:41:19 MDT 2001 Jericho For those who haven't heard of "Kimble" (aka Kim Schmitz, kimble.org, kill.net, YIHAT founder, etc), he is in the limelight again. As usual, he is peddling his fraud and lies yet again, this time riding the coattails of "anti-terrorism" to make a fast buck and get free media attention. In short, this charlatan has created YIHAT (Young Intelligent Hackers Against Terror) to supposedly track down terrorists online. The goal is to find them, identify them, and h4x0r them so they can't use their electronic funds etc. First making news by offering a 10 million dollar bounty on Osama Bin Laden, Kimble has now moved on to claiming his band of vigilante hackers have broken into banks owned by Bin Laden. Today, one of the YIHAT monkey's contacted me and told me to "keep an eye on" a defacing group known as G-force Pakistan. His reasoning for this comment was the claim that Attrition hosted a G-Force Pakistan web site, which he referenced as http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2000/11/03/www.jen.co.il/. Apparently YIHAT and this monkey did not bother to read anything on Attrition or take a moment to understand what the Attrition Mirror was all about. Instead, they accused of us of harboring or assisting a "terrorist cell".
