At about 9:00 p.m. on Friday, September 11, the Electronic
Disturbance Theater entered the main trading floor of the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange in Germany, two days after engaging its FloodNet
software against the stock exchange's web site and the web sites of
Mexico's President and the Pentagon |
According to a recent Wired
News story about the September 9 SWARM
action, Frankfurt Stock Exchange's security was informed about the automated
reload features of FloodNet but stock exhange officials said they were
not worried believing that the symbolic gesture of FloodNet would have
minimal impact. |

in Chiapas. |
The Electronic Disturbance Theater inaugurated
SWARM at the recent Ars Electronic Festival
on InfoWar in Linz, Austria from September 7 to 12. The group's next
action is scheduled for September 16, Mexican
Independence Day. |
