INTERNET: Mr Sean Reynolds, managing director of RITS, says that 2600
magazine, otherwise known as the hackers quarterly, publishes lists of
locations and times for hackers in various countries to meet up.

Until recently he said the phone boxes on St Stephen's Green were
listed as a meeting place for hackers and virus creators.

The Garda says it is aware of the magazine listings and that groups of
Irish hackers have been meeting.

The meetings took place on the first Friday of the month from around 5
p.m. to 8 p.m. but the listing for the meeting in Ireland has
disappeared in the last issue.

Mr Reynolds says this is probably due to action by Garda.
