Al Qaeda Website Refuses to Die
Al Neda eventually lost ownership of the Alneda.com domain in August when Jon David Messner, a hacker who runs porn sites, took it over.
But the website formerly known as Alneda.com is still online. For the past eight months, it has functioned as a so-called Internet parasite -- a site that is embedded within another website without the site owner's knowledge. Al Neda recently showed up buried inside the websites of a 14-year old student, a software security company and a horror movie fan's tribute pages to director Clive Barker.

Islamic group promotes al-Qaida from Homer Web site
HACKERS: Center for Islamic Studies and Research uses teen's Internet bulletin board. A friendly Internet bulletin board run by an Anchor Point high school student morphed last weekend into a worldwide al-Qaida propaganda outpost calling for attacks on the United States in response to the war on Iraq.
The Web site was hacked into by a radical Islamic group that has been moving its Internet site regularly for at least a year. More than 1,000 people used the portal to check al-Qaida's latest views on the war. By Tuesday morning, the alien information had been removed, presumably to nest again in a few weeks on someone else's server.
