I see a "Newuser" on the board... and[68Dthe language he's using is... well "Intimidating"... "I want you all[68Dto know I'm with the OCC task force and we know who you are... we[65Dare going to have a little get-together and 'talk' to you all." [65DHmmm... a loser?... I go into chat mode... "Hey dude, what's up?" I[67Dask. "Your number asshole" he says.... Well, fine way to log on to a[68Dboard if I do say.... "Hey, you know I talked to you and I know who[67Dyou are.." "Oh yeah...Who am I?." he hesitates and says... "Well [68Duh.. you used to work for Sprint didn't you?" I say, "No, you've got [75C[H[71C5[68Dme confused with someone else I think, I'm a junior in high school."[68D"Ohyeah?.. You got some pretty big words for a high school kid," he[66Days.... "Well, in case you didn't know, they teach English as a [68Dmajor these days...." He says... "Do you really want to know which [68DLD company I'm with?" I say "NO, but if it will make you happy, tell[68Dme." He says MCI. (Whew! I don't use them)... "Well you're outta [65Dluck asshole, I pay for my calls, and I don't use MCI." He's [68Ddumbfounded. I wish him the worst as he asks me to leave his rather[67Dthreatening post up on my board and we hang up on him. Now, I'm half[68Dparalyzed... hmmm.... Check his info-form... he left a number in[64D303... Denver.... I grab the phone and call it.. It's the Stromberg[67DTelephone company... Bingo.. I've got him. I search my user files [67Dand come up with a user called "Cocheese" from there, and I voice[65Dvalidated him, and he said he worked for a small telco called [68DStromberg... I'm onto him now. Later in the week, I'm in a telco [68Doffice in a nearby major city, I happen to see a book, marked [65D"Confidential Employee Numbers for AT&T." I thumb thru and lo and[65Dbehold, an R.F. Stromberg works at an office of AT&T in Denver, and[67DI can't cross reference him to an office. (A sure sign he's in [68Dsecurity). Well, not to be out-done by this loser... I dial up NCIC[67Dand check for a group search for a driver's licence for him... [64DBingo. Licence number, cars he owns, his SS number, and a cross [75C[H[71C6[68Dreference of the licence files finds his wife, two kids and a boat [68Dregistered to him. I've never called him back, but If I do have any[67Dtrouble with him, I'm gonna pay a little visit to Colorado.... ####[67DPHRACK PRESENTS ISSUE 16 #### ^*^*^*^Phrack World News, Part [66D3^*^*^*^ **** File 10 of 12 **** [Ed's Note: Certain names have been[68Dchange in the article to protect the author] The Flight of The Mad[66DPhone-Man's BBS to a Friendly Foreign Country Using my knowledge[64Dthat the pigs grab your computer when they bust you,I got real [67Dworried about losing a BIG investment I've got in my IBM. I decide [68Dthere's a better way.... Move it! But where? Where's safe from the[66DPhBI? Well in the old days, to escape the draft, you went to Canada,[68Dwhy not expatriate my board.... Well the costs of a line are very[65Dhigh, let's see what's available elsewhere. One afternoon, I'm [65Dworking at a local hospital,(one I do telecom work for) and I ask[65Dthe comm mgr if they have any links to Canada? He says why yes, we[66Dhave an inter-medical link over a 23ghz microwave into the city just[68Dacross the border. I ask to see the equipment. WOW! My dreams come[66Dtrue, it's a D4 bank (Rockwell) and it's only got 4 channel cards in[68Dit. Now, being a "nice" guy, I offer to do maintenance on this[62Dequipment if he would let me put up another channel...he agrees. The[68Dplot thickens. I've got a satellite office for a business near the[66Dhospital on the other side, I quickly call up good ole Bell Canada, [75C[H[71C7[68Dand have them run a 2 wire line from the equipment room to my [66Doffice. Now the only thing to get is a couple of cards to plug into[66Dhe MUX to put me on the air. A 2 wire E&M card goes for bout $319,[67Dand I'd need two. Ilook around the state, and find one bad one in[65DRochester.... I'm on my way that afternoon via motorcycle. The card [68Dis mine, and the only thing I can find wrong is a bad voltage [66Dregulator. I stop by the Rockwell office in suburban Rochester and[66Dexchange the card, while I'm there, I buy a second one (Yeah, on my[67Dcard) and drive home.... by 9pm that night the circuit is up, and we[68Dare on the air. Results- Very good line, no noise, can be converted[67Dwith another card for a modest fee if I want the bandwidth. So [68Dthat's the story of how the board went to a "friendly foreign [65Dcountry."

We're not going to reprint the Washington[64DPost article as it's available through other sources. Instead, a [68Dsummary: In early July, SH bought an AT&T 3B1 ("Unix PC") with a [66D67MB drive for a dirt-cheap $525. He got Sys V 3.5 for another $200 [75C[H[71C8[68Dbut was dissatisfied with much of the software they gave him (e.g.[66Dthey gave him uucp version 1.1). When he was tagged by the feds, he[67Dhad been downloading software (in the form of C sources) from [67Dvarious AT&T systems. According to reports, these included the Bell[67DLabs installations at Naperville, Illinois and Murray Hill, New [67DJersey. Prosecutors said he also gained entry to (and downloaded[64Dsoftware from) AT&T systems at a NATO installation in Burlington, [66DNorth Carolina and Robins AFB in Georgia. AT&T claims he stole $1 [67Dmillion worth of software. Some of it was unreleased software taken [68Dfrom the Bell Labs systems that was given hypothetical price tags by[68DBell Labs spokespersons. Agents took his 3B1, two Atari STs he had[66Din his room, and several diskettes. SH is 17 and apparently will be[67Dtreated as a minor. At the time of this writing, he will either be[66Dsubject to federal prosecution for 'computer theft' or will be [63Dsubject to prosecution only by the State of Illinois. SH's lawyer,[66DKaren Plant, was quoted as saying that SH "categorically denies [64Ddoing anything that he should not have been doing" and that he "had[67Dabsolutely no sinister motives in terms of stealing property." As we[68Dsaid, he was just collecting software for his new Unix PC. When I[65Dtalked to Ms. Plant on September 25th, she told me that she had no[66Didea if or when the U.S. Attorney would prosecute. Karen Plant can[66Dbe reached at (312) 263-1355. Her address is 134 North LaSalle, [75C[H[71C9[68D#306, Chicago, Illinois. --------- On July 9th SH wrote: So you see,[68DI'm screwed.
