Our action was not against any squatter, any person, nor the administrator of squat.net, but solely out of self-defence. We had no intention to do any harm at all. Altough we now realize that it was not a right thing to do we decided to do it in order to protect ourself and lot`s of other people. Recently the radical group "Prof Zonnebloem" broke in to the office of the H.O.Din Utrecht (see www.hod.nl). They stole computers, personal documents of the employees of the HOD and the people living in the buildings they own. The HOD is an organisation which looks after empty buildings by letting people live in these buildings for a very low price, it's called "anti-squat". They used the personal information to write a personally adressed, very initimidating letter to all the people living for the HOD. The threatenings in the letter are; - We have personal information of you , your adress and telphone number of you and your parents etc. - They mention not having anything against us personnally, but they don`t like that we choose to live in a building offered by the HOD and warn of us being a victim of their actions. - They threaten to publish all our personal information if we don't break our contract with the HOD. - They insinuate breaking into our homes. Also the link to www.squat.net/netherl/zonnebloem was mentioned in their letter. We decided to take a look and saw that personal information of the employees of the HOD (with some home adresses and telephone numbers) plus a list of all the HOD buildings was on the home page Their next action is the 10-12 september 1999 weekend, which they called "anti-anti-squat weekend", they urged squatters to use the list of buildings to take action. Since we live anti-squat, this is a personal threat, they even gave use a "bomb warning". Ofcourse we discussed this with the police. The obvious password of the obvious user squat made it possible for us to log into the system, where a shadow file with read rights for world was found in /sic. We then informed the police that we had this information. Since the weekend was coming closer, we decided, out of our own defence, to remove the pages, we know that this is illegal, but with an organisation who has our personal information, maybe wanting to destroy our homes, having broke into a building before, we felt ourselves forced to stop them spreading this information. We used the shadow file with read rights for world from /sic, to get access to an account with sudo rigths, we then edited the passwd file to change UID and GID of the user bin from 1 to 0, and gave bin "no password". Further we gave the user "nobody" a password. This was to be able to prevent "zonnebloem" from publishing our personal information on a large scale, in case the pages would be put back. We are very sorry that we did this, at the moment we - and the local police- arejust worried about the weekend and staying home and awake at night to watch after it. We just know that we tried something to prevent "Zonnebloem" from spreading our personal information on a web page.
