FROM CUBA
Cuban government Website hacked

HAVANA, Cuba, March 9 (Perico Perez / www.cubanet.org) - Hackers recently entered a Cuban government Web site and posted a statement criticizing restrictions on access to the Internet by Cubans.

The statement, which appeared for two days on www.cubasi.cu, said in part: "The idea behind this hacking arose from government restrictions on Internet access using national currency. With this hacking, we're sending a message that we're alive, that we're Cubans, that policy doesn't matter to us and that we did this in order to learn more and study more every day."

Those aware of the hacking assumed it was done by students at the University of Informatics Sciences, established two years ago by Fidel Castro at the former Soviet espionage center. The idea behind the center was to produce software.

However, the hackers denied that they were students or graduates of the university.
