Extasyy Revisited
|
|
-----------------
|
|
This is a continuation of the article that appeared in Phrack World News Issue
|
|
Number One, about the breakup of Extasyy Elite.
|
|
|
|
The following are statements were told to Phrack by The Mentor:
|
|
|
|
1) I am NOT an FBI Agent.
|
|
2) The Poltergeist turned in all of Extasyy. I have copies of the statements
|
|
he made in Fort Worth to the FBI and to the Fort Worth Police Department to
|
|
get me busted. I do not know if he gave them Bit Blitz's information or
|
|
not.
|
|
3) Yes, I made Bit Blitz return a computer. Bit Blitz promised me a 212
|
|
AppleCat in exchange for an Apple //e. Then he failed to deliver the modem
|
|
after I gave him the system. This can be verified.
|
|
4) Crustaceo Mutoid is in the Racketeers, which Apple Rebel reassembled. Former
|
|
Racketeers members who are now regrouped include: Hot Rod, Warezird, and The
|
|
Micron.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The above information should be considered as direct quotes from The Mentor.
|
|
The Apple //e referred to is one of the many stolen Apple //es talked about in
|
|
the story below.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
A little background on Extasyy.
|
|
|
|
Extasyy hung out on Hack Net BBS and FWSO, a bbs in Colorado. Poltergeist was
|
|
always bragging about how he was a master computer thief.
|
|
|
|
The Mentor wanted to try his luck as well. In his case, a not very wise idea.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
He and two others went to a high school computer room in Hayes County, Texas.
|
|
The room was separate from the rest of the building and one of the windows was
|
|
unlocked.
|
|
|
|
One of the other two people that went was a student at the school.
|
|
|
|
It took three car trips to transport all the computers, most of them were kept
|
|
in friend's apartments. The Mentor gave many of the computers away to friends
|
|
of his, which helped his popularity greatly. He also gave two monitors to
|
|
Poltergeist. However he neglected to scratch the serial numbers off them. A
|
|
more or less fatal mistake.
|
|
|
|
Each of the apartment owners were allowed to keep one computer, as well as the
|
|
other two accomplices. Gradually the people with the apartments began to hide
|
|
or give away some of the computers themselves.
|
|
|
|
The Mentor finally took all the rest of the computers to a storage warehouse
|
|
and then gave away or sold what was left of them.
|
|
|
|
One month later...
|
|
|
|
In Fort Worth, Texas, The Poltergeist was busted, mainly for credit card fraud,
|
|
but there were many other charges as well. He talked all about Extasyy and its
|
|
members and when the police found the Mentor's phone number, Poltergeist talked
|
|
some more. Among his confiscated equipment were two monitors. The serial
|
|
numbers were checked and this led the police and FBI to the now one month old
|
|
computer theft in Hayes County.
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, one of the apartment owners was trying to sell off one of his
|
|
computers to an ex-girl friend. Unfortunately she knew they were "hot" and
|
|
told the police. (Advice here guys don't try to sell "hot" items to ex-girl
|
|
friends).
|
|
|
|
Soon after the police took him in and were going to press charges on him as
|
|
being the mastermind thief. Until he told them the truth about where he got
|
|
the merchandise, implicating The Mentor and the others.
|
|
|
|
Soon after, the police and FBI had The Mentor, and even though he no longer had
|
|
any of the stolen equipment, a warrant and search turned up many other
|
|
interesting illegal items. His family being prominent in his town, his dad
|
|
wanted him to cooperate fully with the authorities.
|
|
|
|
Phreaking was basically unheard of by the police in 512 and they wanted to know
|
|
how everyone was doing it. The Mentor's response was "Blue Boxing". His town
|
|
is now equipped with 2600 Hertz detectors on the phone lines. Too bad for
|
|
Southwestern Bell that Mentor lied about blue boxing.
|
|
|
|
Mentor's dad always had something against The Protestor, if for no other
|
|
reason than the fact that he was the one who got Mentor started into phreaking.
|
|
|
|
The police were interested in the phreak boards, so Mentor's dad suggested they
|
|
call Protestor's Shack, where The Mentor was a remote sysop.
|
|
|
|
About this time Mentor had to use the bathroom, or so he told the police. On
|
|
his way to his restroom he stopped in the kitchen and called The Protestor.
|
|
He kept it very brief with the one way conversation consisting of roughly these
|
|
words, 'Get all the illegal shit off your board now! I'll explain later, just
|
|
do it!'
|
|
|
|
Never the less, they called Protestor's Shack, only to discover that it was
|
|
busy.
|
|
|
|
Protestor's Shack went down on February 24, 1986. At first it was thought that
|
|
Kleptic Wizard, a former Extasyy member, would take over the board in 314
|
|
(St.Louis, MO). However, Protestor later decided that maybe it was time that
|
|
the board died. He did add however that he may release his board program as a
|
|
ware sometime in the near future. Most likely to be found on Kleptic Palace AE
|
|
first. He also does plan to one day return to the pirate/phreak/hack world.
|
|
|
|
The above information was provided by The Protestor
|
|
with some parts by The Mentor

The Radio Station BBS
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Where once stood the famous bulletin board "The Broadway Show", now stands The
|
|
Radio Station. When Broadway Hacker thought he was moving to Washington D.C. he
|
|
took down the Broadway Show and gave the line, 718/615-0580, to another who
|
|
would run this new bbs. Since then however Broadway Hacker under the handle
|
|
of Program Director is once again running the board, but the remote sysop
|
|
Sigmund Fraud is now in total charge. He validates, he hires the subboard
|
|
sysops.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Sysop: Program Director
|
|
Remote Sysop: Sigmund Fraud <-- Runs the board
|
|
|
|
Subboard Sysops:
|
|
|
|
General: Pirate Pete
|
|
Sports/Entertainment: White Lotus
|
|
Computer Discussion Forum: Lotus
|
|
Pirate/Trading: No one (The Cheetah was fired)
|
|
Anarchy: No one (The Merc was fired)
|
|
Chemical & Explosives: The Wild Phreak (Gray Mouser was fired)
|
|
Advanced Hacking and Phreaking: No one (Iron Soldier was fired)
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
If you wish to become a subboard sysop, please leave mail or feedback to
|
|
Sigmund Fraud.
|
|
|
|
The Radio Station is where many LOD members and other old elites hang out. Its
|
|
also among the first to receive new LOD G-Philes.
|
|
|
|
The Radio Station receives about 15-20 new posts a day. Their general board is
|
|
among the most popular for real world controversial topics.
|
|
|
|
Program Director has put more time and effort into the debugging and upkeep of
|
|
his board than ANY other sysop I've ever known. Some of the nice features on
|
|
his board are the message responses which can keep a particular subject going
|
|
without interfering with other related subjects.
|
|
|
|
The Radio Station is a strong supporter of Phrack Newsletter. Give it a call!

Phoenix Phortress Stings 7 415 Under Siege
|
|
-------------------------- ---------------
|
|
On March 5, 1986, the following seven phreaks were arrested in what has come to
|
|
be known as the first computer crime "sting" operation.
|
|
|
|
Captain Hacker
|
|
Doctor Bob
|
|
Lasertech
|
|
The Adventurer
|
|
The Highwayman
|
|
The Punisher
|
|
The Warden
|
|
|
|
Many of them or other members of Phoenix Phortress belonged to these groups:
|
|
|
|
High Mountain Hackers
|
|
Kaos Inc.
|
|
Shadow Brotherhood
|
|
The Nihilist Order (Based in Fremont and Sunnyvale)
|
|
|
|
Of the seven, three were 15 years old; two were 16; one was 17; and one, 19.
|
|
|
|
Their charges include:
|
|
|
|
Several misdemeanors
|
|
Trafficking in stolen long distance service codes
|
|
Trafficking in stolen credit card numbers
|
|
Possession of stolen property
|
|
Possession of dangerous weapons (a martial arts weapon)
|
|
Charging mail-order merchandise to stolen credit card numbers
|
|
Selling stolen property
|
|
Charging calls internationally to telephone service numbers
|
|
|
|
Conviction would mean forfeiture of their computer equipment.
|
|
|
|
Other phreak boards mentioned include:
|
|
|
|
Bank Vault (Mainly for credit card numbers and tips on credit card scams)
|
|
Phreakers Phortress (Mainly of course for phreak codes and other information)
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
After serving search warrants early Wednesday morning on the seven Fremont
|
|
residences where the young men live with their parents, police confiscated at
|
|
least $12,000 worth of equipment such as computers, modems, monitors, floppy
|
|
disks, and manuals, which contained information ranging from how to make a
|
|
bomb, to the access codes for the Merrill Lynch and Dean Witter Financial
|
|
Services Firm's corporate computers.
|
|
|
|
The sysop of Phoenix Phortress was The Revenger, who was supposedly Wally
|
|
Richards, a 25 year-old Hayward man who "phreaked back east a little" in New
|
|
Jersey. He took the phone number under the name of Al Davis. However he was
|
|
really Sgt. Daniel Pasquale of the Fremont Police Department.
|
|
|
|
When he introduced his board to other computer users, he called it the "newest,
|
|
coolest, phreak board in town." (Editor's note: The word for today is
|
|
ENTRAPMENT!).
|
|
|
|
Pasquale said he got the idea for the sting operation after a 16-year old
|
|
arrested last summer for possession of stolen property "rolled them over
|
|
(narced) He told us all about their operation."
|
|
|
|
Pasquale used a police department Apple //e computer and equipment, with access
|
|
codes and information provided by eight corporations, including Wells Fargo
|
|
Bank, Sprint, and MCI.
|
|
|
|
Pasquale said he received more than 2,500 calls from about 130 regular users
|
|
around the country. The police started to make their first case three days
|
|
after the board went up.
|
|
|
|
"We had taken the unlisted phone number under the name Al Davis," Pasquale
|
|
said. "In six days, these kids had the name on the bulletin board. I would
|
|
have needed a search warrant to get that information."
|
|
|
|
The arrests were made after five months of investigation by Dan Pasquale.
