WUNRN
Hackers - An Online Risk Frontier for
Women's & Girls' Human Rights
An example of a dictionary
definition of HACKER is: A person who uses computers
to gain unauthorized access to data.
In
current times, hacker can refer to "someone who tries to get into
another person's computer using computer software such as Trojan horse programs, computer
viruses, and worms that can hurt other people's computers, E-Mails, programs.
In the past 24 hours, attempts have
been made to HACK the WUNRN ListServe. Some of you have received multiple
copies of past releases. Both our ListServe company (external, highly reputable
and for 10 years) and our internal several programs against viruses and
hackers, cannot always and ever, in the sophisticated underworld online,
intercept such actions.
When a program as
WUNRN disseminates information on such subjects as violence against
women, rape, trafficking, abuse, women human rights defenders, and more, we are
particularly vulnerable to attract the attention of dissenters as hackers.
Truly, when WUNRN posts a release on
countries not wanting the exposure WUNRN may present authentically, we can
expect a nasty virus coming in within about l/2 hour.
So here we are trying and trying to
present authentic, balanced, timely, serious information, solid documentation
including links and photos, on the human rights, oppression, and
empowerment of women and girls.
We continue to assess best ever precautions;
but when an invasion attempt occurs, we ask your patience, and our shared
determination to rise above for the truths, realities, empowerment and equality
of women and girls all over the world.
