BUST UPDATE
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
All the people busted by the Secret Service last July were contacted in
|
|
September and asked if they "wanted to talk." No one but Solid State heard
|
|
from the S.S. after this. Solid State was prosecuted and got one year
|
|
probation plus some required community service. The rest: Ninja NYC, Bill
|
|
>From RNOC, Oryan QUEST, etc. are still waiting to hear. Some rumors have gone
|
|
around that Oryan QUEST has cooperated extensively with the feds but I have no
|
|
idea about the validity of this. The following is a short interview with
|
|
Oryan QUEST. Remember that QUEST has a habit of lying.
|
|
|
|
PHRACK: Did you hear from the SS in September? It seems everybody else has.
|
|
|
|
QUEST: No. I haven't heard from them since I was busted. Maybe they forgot
|
|
me.
|
|
|
|
P: What's your lawyer think of your case?
|
|
|
|
Q: He says lay low. He says it's no problem because of my age.
|
|
|
|
P: What do your parents think?
|
|
|
|
Q: They were REALLY pissed for about a week but then they relaxed. I mean I
|
|
think my parents knew I went through enough... I mean I felt like shit.
|
|
|
|
P: Do you plan to keep involved in Telecom legit or otherwise?
|
|
|
|
Q: Uhh, I wanna call boards... I mean I can understand why a sysop wouldn't
|
|
give me an access but... I'm thinking of putting a board up, a secure
|
|
board just to stay in touch ya know? Cause I had a lot of fun I mean I
|
|
just don't want to get busted again.
|
|
|
|
P: Any further words of wisdom?
|
|
|
|
Q: No matter what anyone says I'm *ELITE*. NOOOO don't put that.
|
|
|
|
P: Yes I am.
|
|
|
|
Q: No I don't want people to think I'm a dick.
|
|
|
|
P: Well...
|
|
|
|
Q: You're a dick.

- On a completely different note, Taran King who as some of you know was
|
|
busted, is going to be writing a file for Phrack about what happened real
|
|
soon now.

|
MEDIA
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
The big media thing has been scare stories about computer viruses,
|
|
culminating in a one page Newsweek article written by good old Sandza and
|
|
friends. John Markoff of the San Francisco Examiner wrote articles on
|
|
viruses, hacking voice mailboxes, and one that should come out soon about the
|
|
July Busts (centering on Oryan QUEST). A small scoop: He may be leaving for
|
|
the New York Times or the San Jose Mercury.
|
|
|
|
Phreak media wise things have been going downhill. Besides PHRACK (which
|
|
had a bad period but hopefully we're back for good) there is 2600, and
|
|
Syndicate Report. Syndicate Report is dead, although their voice mail system
|
|
is up. Sometimes. 2600 has gone from a monthly magazine to a quarterly one
|
|
because they were losing so much money. One dead and 2 wounded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MISCELLANEOUS
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Taran King and Knight Lightning are having a fun time in their fraternity
|
|
at University of Missouri. Their respective GPA's are 2.1 and 2.7
|
|
approximately.... Phantom Phreaker and Doom Prophet are in a (punk/metal)
|
|
band... Lex Luthor is alive and writing long articles for 2600... Sir Francis
|
|
Drake sold out and wrote phreak articles for Thrasher... Jester Sluggo has
|
|
become vaguely active again...
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONCLUSION
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Less and less people are phreaking, the world is in sorry shape, and I'm going
|
|
to bed. Hail Eris.
