Shadow Hawk Busted Again
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
As many of you know, Shadow Hawk (a/k/a Shadow Hawk 1) had his home
|
|
searched by agents of the FBI, Secret Service, and the Defense Criminal
|
|
Investigative Services and had some of his property confiscated by them on
|
|
September 4th. We're not going to reprint the Washington Post article as it's
|
|
available through other sources. Instead, a summary:
|
|
|
|
In early July, SH bought an AT&T 3B1 ("Unix PC") with a 67MB drive for
|
|
a dirt-cheap $525. He got Sys V 3.5 for another $200 but was dissatisfied
|
|
with much of the software they gave him (e.g. they gave him uucp version 1.1).
|
|
|
|
When he was tagged by the feds, he had been downloading software (in
|
|
the form of C sources) from various AT&T systems. According to reports, these
|
|
included the Bell Labs installations at Naperville, Illinois and Murray Hill,
|
|
New Jersey. Prosecutors said he also gained entry to (and downloaded software
|
|
from) AT&T systems at a NATO installation in Burlington, North Carolina and
|
|
Robins AFB in Georgia. AT&T claims he stole $1 million worth of software.
|
|
Some of it was unreleased software taken from the Bell Labs systems that was
|
|
given hypothetical price tags by Bell Labs spokespersons. Agents took his
|
|
3B1, two Atari STs he had in his room, and several diskettes.
|
|
|
|
SH is 17 and apparently will be treated as a minor. At the time of
|
|
this writing, he will either be subject to federal prosecution for 'computer
|
|
theft' or will be subject to prosecution only by the State of Illinois.
|
|
|
|
SH's lawyer, Karen Plant, was quoted as saying that SH "categorically
|
|
denies doing anything that he should not have been doing" and that he "had
|
|
absolutely no sinister motives in terms of stealing property." As we said, he
|
|
was just collecting software for his new Unix PC. When I talked to Ms. Plant
|
|
on September 25th, she told me that she had no idea if or when the U.S.
|
|
Attorney would prosecute. Karen Plant can be reached at (312) 263-1355. Her
|
|
address is 134 North LaSalle, #306, Chicago, Illinois.

So you see, I'm screwed. Oh yeah, even worse! In my infinite (wisdom
|
|
|| stupidity, take your pick 8-)) I set up a local AT&T owned 7300 to call me
|
|
up and send me their uucp files (my uucp works ok for receive) and guess what.
|
|
I don't think I've to elaborate further on THAT one... (holding my breath, so
|
|
to type)
