Atomic Spiders

Atomic Spiders








Infoterrorist group 64-76 a.t. A closely knit team of net-based infowar terrorists behind worldwide anti-government attacks and general vandalism. Unlike earlier hacker and infowar groups the Spiders combine both misinformation, memetic design, cracking and traditional terrorism into "New Concept Terrorism" such as the Berlin riots 71 and the mega-vandalism of Nyretrade 73 a.t. Using common unpatched security holes in home robotics they invented massively parallel home invasion, where large numbers of bots were hijacked for criminal or pro-paranoid purposes such as gathering valuables and throwing them out the window, spraying graffiti everywhere or migrating en masse towards some victim. After several highly publicized incidents and a massive net-hunt two of the members were finally apprehended in 76 a.t.; after the setback the group never recovered, but copycat groups continued their work.
