Before this g-file is started, we want to make something PERFECTLY
|
|
CLEAR. This g-file applies to ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE PHREAKERS. It is not
|
|
just for the so-called "elite" hackers that you hear about all the time.
|
|
If you have phreaked between December 1988 and this date, or are planning
|
|
to start phreaking, THIS APPLIES TO YOU. In addition, this file is NOT
|
|
BULLSHIT. We have consulted many phreakers in different areas and they all
|
|
knew what we said was true because of recent incidents in their area.
|
|
You may have heard about these busts before, but its good to read this
|
|
file just in case. We wrote this g-file on January 8, 1989, so all info
|
|
is recent.
|
|
|
|
Recently, two services have been very popular to phreak with. They
|
|
were both pitifully easy to hack, and they both had superb and quick
|
|
connections with boards across the USA. In addition, thousands of phreakers
|
|
phreakers. Up until December, 1988, they were safe
|
|
to phreak with and didn't even TRY to catch phreakers. However, starting
|
|
in December, a major attack was relased on phreakers nationwide, and it
|
|
is still going on as of this date.
|
|
Both servies joined forces with all of the major phone companies in
|
|
December to, at first, find who CALLED 950-0266 and 950-1729. From December
|
|
1st-December 31st, a trace was put on those two numbers and whoever CALLED
|
|
those numbers was contacted by their phone company and they were asked why
|
|
they called those numbers. We are sure that many people reading this file
|
|
received such a call, as some of our members did. However, since this was
|
|
just the first stage of the tracing, and both Futuretech and the 0266 company
|
|
did not have their tracing equipment in yet, they were not able to tell
|
|
what the callers of the access ports DID once they were connected. In
|
|
short, giving any story to the phone company about why you called those ports
|
|
would do just fine, since they had no record about what anyone did once they
|
|
called into the port. All they had on record was the fact that people called.
|
|
eir phone company about phreaking decided that
|
|
they would never phreak again.
|
|
But remember, this was just stage one. It got worse. On January 1st,
|
|
1989, the phone companies welcomed in the new year with new equipment. The
|
|
company that ran 0266 had the better equipment, and could tell where the
|
|
calls were ORIGINATING, however the 1729 company was only able to tell which
|
|
numbers were CALLED. Futuretech (the 1729 company) took immediate action
|
|
on the 1st and contacted all of the people and boards who were called, and
|
|
asked for info on who called them at certain times, and if the people called
|
|
knew any hackers or phreakers. With that info, they could tell the phone
|
|
company to tap phone lines, and a few people ended up getting busted. There
|
|
is rumor of 1729 getting the FULL tracing equipment in by now, but we have
|
|
not verified it as of this date. Overall, it is unsafe to phreak with 1729.
|
|
950-0266's company was much more harsh. On January 2nd, they found
|
|
all of the big-time abusers of their codes, along with a handful of the
|
|
"lesser" phreakers who only made a few calls, and took action. They sent
|
|
feds and police to search houses and confiscate entire computer systems, in
|
|
addition to throwing people in jail and pressing charges. THIS IS STILL
|
|
GOING ON. MANY PHREAKERS HAVE BEEN SEVERELY BUSTED FOR USING 0266,
|
|
they bust everyone that they can get the police
|
|
to go after. If you have been using 0266, STOP NOW! There is no point to
|
|
get your life ruined over a few stupid wares from out-of-state BBS's.
|
|
Remember, they are busting ALL phreakers, not just the so-called "big-time"
|
|
ones. Even people who make less then $10 worth of illegal calls have a good
|
|
chance of getting busted.
|
|
This still leaves the question about what is safe to use from a pay-phone.
|
|
DO NOT use 1729 from a pay-phone. They will investigate the PERSON YOU
|
|
CALLED, and can put a tap on your line if they find out about the pay-phone
|
|
phreaking. As far as 0266, they are more interested in hitting the
|
|
computer phreakers, so it is still relatively safe to use 0266 from a pay
|
|
phone, but don't press your luck. Keep your phreaked-pay-phone calls to
|
|
a minimum and you will probably be safe.
|
|
Your question now is probably, "But what can I do now?? What about
|
|
all those RAD WARES on that board in Georgia I'm on??" Well, yes, there
|
|
is still one way to phreak that is safe. PC Pursuit. Although several
|
|
rumors have gone around about PC Pursuit being dangerous, we have contacts
|
|
and know for a FACT that it is not. If you have PCP codes, DON'T GIVE THEM
|
|
OUT LIKE THEY ARE SIMPLE TO GET. The more people that have them, the faster
|
|
they die, and you will find that they are HARD to get because there is no
|
|
way to get your computer to hack them. This file has been true. It is
|
|
not bullshit. And it may just save you from ruining your life.
