Hackers fuel Peru-Chile rivalry -
December 15th, 2005, 08:22 AM
The historic rivalry between Peru and Chile has spilled into cyberspace with hackers from both countries striking at government websites.
They have been posting nationalistic claims to a disputed maritime area, seafood and a drink called pisco. In the latest attack, the Peruvian judiciary's web page was targeted by a suspected Chilean hacker. Chile and Peru are currently embroiled in a diplomatic dispute over fishing waters in the Pacific Ocean. Peru is claiming a 37,900 sq km (14,600 sq miles) area that is currently under Chile's control. In the past, Chileans and Peruvians have also argued over the rights to Pisco, an alcoholic drink which Peru claims as its own but is trademarked, produced and marketed in greater volume by Chile. They have even rowed over whose seafood is better. READ ARTICLE [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] |
