More Computel Sunday March 29, 1986
|
|
------------- ---------------------
|
|
The following post was seen on Stronghold East Elite on the above date,
|
|
concerning Computel. I am reprinting it in Phrack for the sole purpose to
|
|
spread this important news and to help 2600 Magazine get to the bottom of this
|
|
mess, and to help everyone get their money back.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
People,
|
|
PLEASE tell us whatever you know about Computel, even if it doesn't seem
|
|
important. We are charging full speed ahead with our investigation and we've
|
|
already uncovered some wild things but we can't reveal what we have until we're
|
|
finished. We also need info on that old magazine called Tel from the 70's.
|
|
|
|
Yes, we did determine that there was a connection between the two but that's
|
|
all we can say right now. Any info or even back copies would help. We need
|
|
people to actually complain about losing money. So far that's been the hardest
|
|
thing to do. Phone phreaks as a rule don't seem to want to put their name on
|
|
anything, but if you've lost money, this is the only way we can get it back for
|
|
you and at the same time, stop this operation.
|
|
|
|
We need people who live near or in Van Nuys, California. We need those of you
|
|
with special access to credit information or phone information to get in touch
|
|
with us. PLEASE DON'T DELAY! Send us E-mail or call (516) 751-2600.

Editor's Note: Thomas Covenant added that he had heard that Computel is
|
|
unregistered and plans on staying that way. Thus the Better
|
|
Business Bureau can do nothing.

Dr. Who in Trouble Tuesday March 31, 1986
|
|
------------------
|
|
The following is Lex Luthor's interpretation and information on the Dr. Who
|
|
story. He also discusses Twilight Zone and Catch 22. It was posted in several
|
|
places (most notably Stronghold East Elite) and was confirmed in interview with
|
|
Lex Luthor by Knight Lightning on April 4, 1986.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The Twilight Zone will be back up in 1-2 weeks. Those who Marauder wants on
|
|
will be contacted with all the new logon info, along with a number to reach it
|
|
at. He has been doing some mods to the software so the board has been down.
|
|
Silver Spy, Sysop of Catch-22 has had some phone problems and as soon as the
|
|
phone company fixes it he will have it back up. Both boards did go down for a
|
|
few days after the Doctor Who bust, but after we found out why he was busted,
|
|
the boards went back up.
|
|
|
|
The Secret Service came to Who's house and took everything, he was not home at
|
|
the time, but after 1-2 days, they finally got around to questioning him. As
|
|
you know, the Secret Service has been doing a lot of credit card
|
|
investigations. Initially Pit Fiend of CA was busted for carding (Editor's
|
|
Note: See last issue's quick notes as to Pit Fiend) and at the time he was
|
|
speaking w/Who from time to time, thus some believe Who's bust was a result of
|
|
P.F. leaking info to the S.S.
|
|
|
|
LOD/H was not shaken up too much from Who's bust mainly because it was not
|
|
Phreak/Hack related, merely credit related which LOD/H is not involved in. Who
|
|
did not card anything, but we believe the S.S.'s motive for busting him was use
|
|
of TRW. Incidentally, Who had a DNR on his line for 7 months some say it was
|
|
for over a year, but either way, its a hell of a long time! That's about it,
|
|
anyone need specific details, or heard anything otherwise let me know.

2300 Club Members Busted Cleveland
|
|
------------------------ ---------
|
|
Two have been caught for fraudulent use of a credit card and one has been
|
|
arrested for car theft.
|
|
|
|
The 2300 Club is now being compared and treated as a miniature mafia by local
|
|
authorities. This is mainly for other crimes including the blowing up of cars.
|
|
King Blotto was, at one time at least, a member of this group. There is
|
|
absolutely NO information regarding King Blotto as being busted or as still
|
|
being a member of the 2300 Club.

New Phreak/Hack Group April, 6 1986
|
|
---------------------
|
|
The Dark Creaper (916), Brew Associates (215), Major Havoc (301), and one other
|
|
whose handle is unknown to me at the current time are forming a new phreak/hack
|
|
group. Its name is "The IBM Syndicate". They are currently looking for
|
|
members to join. Their bulletin boards, which are currently more or less
|
|
public, will very soon be going private, thus making it harder to become a
|
|
member. Eventually the group will have 2 bbses and 2 AEs. Mainly for the
|
|
exchange of files and IBM kracked wares. All of these bbses will be run on of
|
|
course IBM, and I assume that having an IBM is a requirement to become a
|
|
member.

Oryan Quest Busted/415 Gets Hit Again April 6, 1986
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
On Wednesday, April 2nd 1986, Oryan Quest was arrested on charges of computer
|
|
invasion. Technically they only had him on one charge but later evidence
|
|
accounted for the other two.
|
|
|
|
Oryan Quest was "busted" for hacking AT&T Mail, which is roughly similar to MCI
|
|
Mail. He had three different accounts, but the San Mateo Police and FBI only
|
|
had suspicion of one. When they searched his home they found two more written
|
|
down.
|
|
|
|
The charges against Oryan Quest were dropped for several reasons:
|
|
|
|
1. Illegal Search (they didn't have a warrant)
|
|
2. Police Brutality and Harassment (pushed him around and slammed his head into
|
|
a car)
|
|
|
|
The authorities searched his house while Oryan Quest was at school, which is
|
|
where they later arrested him.
|
|
|
|
What was taken includes the following:
|
|
|
|
Loads of computer disks
|
|
All printouts (his entire g-phile library)
|
|
10 Meg drive
|
|
Assorted Boxes (Blue, Red, Green, Silver)
|
|
|
|
His passwords, bbs numbers, codes, etc were undiscovered. (He believes)
|
|
|
|
No court date had been set as of yet, and it is believed that the prosecuting
|
|
attorney will drop the case due to the earlier illegal proceedings by the SMPD.
|
|
|
|
Prior to his arrest the SMPD had been monitoring his line and had found that he
|
|
was scanning prefixes. This is however is inadmissible in a court of law
|
|
because at the time that they were monitoring his line there was not sufficient
|
|
evidence for such action.
|
|
|
|
AT&T Mail was accessible through an 800 number, which Oryan Quest did call
|
|
direct.
|
|
|
|
Some words from Oryan
|
|
---------------------
|
|
"I have no intention of quitting hacking."
|
|
|
|
"My mistake was calling an 800 number direct and for fucking around with AT&T
|
|
in the first place."
|
|
|
|
"I am more of a hacker than a phreak."
|
|
|
|
(Editor's note: When asked how he felt about what was happening he replied,
|
|
"I'm not worried about it.")
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Some other interesting facts about Oryan was that he held a part time job as a
|
|
PacTel Operator. He, being 15 years old, had lied about his age (saying he was
|
|
16), but now has been fired.
|
|
|
|
Also SRI has given him a job offer for computer security. He is thinking about
|
|
it but doesn't plan on accepting it.

Overlord 815 Arrested For Check Fraud
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
"The only reason I got caught was greed."
|
|
|
|
That was the Overlord (815)'s first statement to me during an interview on
|
|
April 6, 1986. He says that originally, a long time ago, he concentrated on
|
|
Western Union, but then later turned to credit card fraud. As he progressed,
|
|
he learned that credit card fraud only worked about 5% of the time. He wanted
|
|
something that worked 100% of the time. He found it...check fraud.
|
|
|
|
In his home town he acquired around $4,000 worth of equipment from 3 stores.
|
|
Some of the merchandise consisted of an Apple //e (with every card possible,
|
|
the best drives, monitors, etc...), a complete Commodore 128 system, and ten
|
|
packs of disks for good measure. His downfall was going back to one of the same
|
|
stores the next day to try it again.
|
|
|
|
He was instantly caught and tricked by the police to reveal more than he would
|
|
have if he had really known his rights.
|
|
|
|
Check fraud is a felony crime. Although I myself am uninformed as to how to
|
|
perform the art of check fraud, it must require a phone because Overlord (815)
|
|
informs me that the police have labeled his crime as Telefelony. The actual
|
|
charge however is for "theft by deception".
|
|
|
|
His home was not searched and he has given all the merchandise back.
|
|
|
|
He had told me that he plans to stop running his bulletin board Spectre III and
|
|
sell his computer. This is mainly so he cannot be referred to as a computer
|
|
hacker. IE: The prosecuting lawyer would ask, "Do you have a computer?!" He
|
|
can truthfully say NO.
|
|
|
|
He plans to have the bbs run from the home of The Master (815) and the number
|
|
would stay the same.
|
|
|
|
Another account of this story by TWCB Inc, says that Overlord has changed his
|
|
mind and is not selling his computer or taking down Spectre III.
|
|
|
|
The court date is set at April 9, 1986, Overlord (815) says that the worst that
|
|
can happen is probation, a fine, civil service work, or any combination of the
|
|
three.

TAP: Latest News From TWCB April 8, 1986
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Well, as many of you may have noticed, TWCB Inc. did not fulfill their promise
|
|
of having TAP Magazine out by April 7, 1986. When asked about this on that
|
|
date, they replied that they had all the stuff, but it had to be typeset,
|
|
formatted, printed, and distributed. They estimated that they could have it
|
|
done in another four days. This secondary deadline was also not achieved.
|
|
|
|
The writers (according to TWCB) include:
|
|
|
|
Abbie Hoffman/Ace/Final Impulse/Gary Seven/Knight Lightning/Mark Tabas/
|
|

|
|
|
|
The magazines supporting TAP include:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Scan Man dropped himself from the TAP Staff.
|
|
|
|
By issue #6, TWCB plans to have a 112 page magazine. This is due to the fact
|
|
that by then they plan to be receiving many more articles and will have several
|
|
more companies advertising.
|
|
|
|
The first issue of TAP Magazine will have articles on the following topics:

Quick Notes
|
|
-----------
|
|
On March 23, 1986, The Radio Station BBS in New York celebrated its one year
|
|
anniversary. It now has one meg of storage online.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The rumor that Taran King was on a talk/news program in New York discussing
|
|
hacking is completely wrong. Dead Lord started it, but as yet no one knows
|
|
why.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The Tempest in 805 was burglarized in March. His computer and all other
|
|
equipment among other things were stolen. This of course explains his absence
|
|
from the bbs world for a while.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
A reasonably new IBM kracking group, which was formally the Imperial Warlords,
|
|
now known as Five-O, are re-kracking software and claiming it to be original by
|
|
themselves. Futhermore they are placing insulting messages inside the software
|
|
towards certain individuals.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The Kidd of 408 got busted for busted for selling codes at his school for five
|
|
dollars a piece. There was no particular company mentioned.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Video Stalker (408) carded some stuff to the home of Sinbad! Sinbad! told him
|
|
that he would sign for the stuff, and when he did, he was arrested. No more
|
|
details available.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The Tunnel, one of Austin, Texas's oldest phreak/hack boards, has come out of
|
|
the closet. The Tunnel was revealed on the local news to be run by the
|
|
computer crime division of the Austin Police Department. The two main goals of
|
|
the board were to A) catch carders and B) catch Mentor and Cisban Evil Priest
|
|
trying to sell those stolen computers. They were very successful at A.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Stronghold East elite has announced its new advisors. Hack Advisor: Lex Luthor
|
|
Phreak Advisor: Blue Buccaneer. The soon plan to have a name change due to the
|
|
fact that Apple Commander of Stronghold North insists they the two boards are
|
|
affiliated while Slave Driver and Equalizer of Stronghold East feel
|
|
differently. With instruction from Lex Luthor, SEE has enacted new security
|
|
measures.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Thanx to 2600 Magazine, Stronghold East Elite now has the complete court
|
|
transcripts of the bust that took place early last summer, most notably
|
|
concerning Private Sector and 6 others, online for viewing.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Sigmund Fraud has been discharged as co-sysop of the Radio Station bbs.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Captain Crunch of 512 has stated that an auto-dial program that he wrote and
|
|
uploaded was copied by TWCB Inc., who then claimed it as their own and signed
|
|
their name in it.
