articles be either Anarchy Related,Computer Underground Related, or H/P/C

devoted entirely to racism because they weren't nearly as popular as the other

FRUSTRATED HACKERES MAY HAVE HELPED FEDS IN MOD STING
|
|
|
|
Are hackers beginning to police themselves? The five men recently
|
|
charged with cracking into scores of complex computer systems during the last
|
|
two years may have been fingered by other hackers who had grown weary of the
|
|
group's penchant for destruction and vindictiveness , members of the hacker
|
|
community said.
|
|
The arrest of the defendants, whom federal law enforcement officials
|
|
claimed were members of a confederation variously called the "Masters of
|
|
Deception" and the "Masters of Disaster" (MOD), was cause for celebration in
|
|
some quarters where the group is known as a spiteful fringe element.
|
|
"Some of these guys were a big pain," said one source who requested
|
|
anopnymity for fear that unindicted MOD members would plot revenge. "They used
|
|
their skills to harass others, which is not what hackign is all about. MOD
|
|
came with a 'you will respect us' attitude, and no one liked it."
|
|
Said another: "In the past few months, there has been a lot of
|
|
muttering on the [bulletin] boards about these guys."
|
|
In one episode, MOD members reportedly arranged for the modem of a
|
|
computer at the University of Louisville in Kentucky to continually dial the
|
|
home number of a hacker bulletin board member who refused to grant them
|
|
greater access priveleges. A similar threat was heard in Maryland.
|
|
In the indictment, the defendants are accused of carrying on a
|
|
conversation in early November 1991 in which they sought instructions on how
|
|
to add and remove credit delinquency reports "to destroy people's lives ... or
|
|
make them look like a saint." Unlike many other hacker organizations, the
|
|
members of MOD agreed to share important information only among themselves and
|
|
not with other hackers.
|
|
|
|
OFFICIALS MUM
|
|
|
|
Who exactly helped the FBI, Secret Service and U.S. Attorney General's
|
|
Office prepare a case against the group is still anyone's guess. Assistant
|
|
U.S. Attorney Stephen Fishbein is no tsaying. He confirmed that the
|
|
investigation into the MOD began in 1990, but he would not elaborate on how or
|
|
why it was launched or who participated. FBI and Secret Service officials were
|
|
equally mute.
|
|
Some observes said that if the charges are true, the men were not true
|
|
"hackers" at all.
|
|
"Hacking is something done in the spirit of creative playfulness, and
|
|
people who break into computer security systems aren't hackers - they're
|
|
criminals," said Richard Stahlman , president of the Cambridge, Mass.-Based
|
|
Free Software Foundation, a public charity that develops free software. The
|
|
foundation had several files on one computer deleted by a hacker who some
|
|
claimed belonged to the MOD.
|
|
The MOD hackers are charged with breaking into computer systems at
|
|
several regional telephone companies, Fortune 500 firms including Martin
|
|
Marietta Corp., universities and credit-reporting concers such as TRW, Inc.,
|
|
which reportadly had 176 consumer credit reports stolen and sold to private
|
|
investigators. The 11-count indictment accuses the defendants of computer
|
|
fraud, computer tampering, wire fraud, illegal wiretapping and conspiracy.
|
|
But some hackers said the charges are like trying to kill ants with a
|
|
sledgehammer. "These guys may have acted idiotically, but this was a stupid
|
|
way to get back at them," said Emmanuel Goldstein, editor of 2600, a quarterly
|
|
magazine for the hacker community based in Middle Island, N.Y.
|
|
Longtime hackers said the MOD wanted to move into the vaccum left when
|
|
the Legion of Doom began to disintegrate in late 1989 and early 1990 after a
|
|
series of arrests in Atlanta and Texas. Federal law enforcement officials have
|
|
described the LEgion of Doom as a group of about 15 computer enthusiasts whose
|
|
members rerouted calls, stoel and altered data and disrupted telephone
|
|
services.
