MCI Working With BOCs
|
|
---------------------
|
|
PacBell and MCI have combined forces to make the Security Pacific Data
|
|
Transmission Corporation. Also it has been announced that field trials are
|
|
currently being held for Project Victoria: an integrated voice-data-video
|
|
service for homes and small businesses.
|
|

BOC stands for Bell Operating Company, and it refers to the small companies

2600 Magazine Vs. Computel Wednesday, February 26, 1986
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
The following post was seen on Stronghold East Elite on the above date.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
We're seriously thinking of taking some action against those nasty people at
|
|
Computel. We published a letter this month which implied that the whole
|
|
operation was really a fairly sophisticated FBI scam.
|
|
|
|
We need to know as many facts as possible. Please contact us on Stronghold East
|
|
thru e-mail, in person, or call (516) 751-2600. If we're not around, leave a
|
|
message saying when you'll call back and we'll try to be there.
|
|
|
|
Tell us if you've had personal experience with Computel or if you know others
|
|
who have. If anyone has cancelled checks or the equivalent, let us know!
|
|
|
|
Also, if anyone can send us a Computel ad, which somehow everyone here at 2600
|
|
managed to miss, it would be helpful. Send that to:
|
|
|
|
2600
|
|
PO Box 99
|
|
Middle Island, NY 11953
|
|
|
|
Note: That's not our subscription address. Subscriptions are at PO Box 752.
|
|
|
|
We may not be able to get these people prosecuted, but we can sure raise one
|
|
hell of a stink trying.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Let it be said that hackers and phreaks will never stand aside
|
|
and be ripped off!
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
At this time we at Phrack have been able to uncover nothing more about the
|
|
Computel situation.

Mister Carding Busted
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Mister Carding first started in the profession of which his name comes forth in
|
|
the summer of 1984. Since then he has accumulated roughly $45,000 worth of
|
|
merchandise.
|
|
|
|
He was caught once before in the summer of 1985 by Federal agents. However, as
|
|
the investigation went on, they didn't have enough material and dropped the
|
|
charges.
|
|
|
|
Somewhere around the fourth week of February he was caught again, this time by
|
|
local authorities. Here is how it all started:
|
|
|
|
"Two months ago, I had tons of stuff coming in and had another guy picking it
|
|
up. One night two weeks or so ago I had him go out to pick up a 20 meg 3 1/2
|
|
inch hard drive. It was only the second time I had used that place as a drop
|
|
spot. Unfortunately, he walked right into a police stakeout and he was
|
|
followed, first to my house and then to his own."
|
|
|
|
The next day the police went to the house of the friend and arrested him. He
|
|
willingly signed an affidavit stating that Mr. Carding was the mastermind
|
|
behind the whole operation and that he was just an accomplice.
|
|
|
|
The court date has not yet been set but his crimes are as follows:
|
|
|
|
- Fraudulent use of a credit card.
|
|
- Possession of stolen merchandise in excessive amounts.
|
|
- Computer Invasion (Hacking).
|
|
|
|
On March 6, 1986:
|
|
|
|
- The police confiscated his modem. It had been carded.
|
|
- He had a meeting with the detectives, in which he had to take a lie detector
|
|
test. They asked him if he was lying about any part of the case, if he
|
|
hacked into computers, and if he was using one specific person's card.
|
|
- He failed the test.
|
|
|
|
The police believe he hacked into the computer of a bank in New Jersey, Mr.
|
|
carding denies all of it. However it is the truth.
|
|
|
|
Most people didn't know it but Mr. Carding was one of the better hackers around
|
|
and should be remembered.
|
|
|
|
He is pleading innocent to all charges and has signed a reverse affidavit
|
|
stating that the other guy was the mastermind.
|
|
|
|
He, as of this writing, has not been arrested but expects to have full charges
|
|
brought on him within the next week.

Boston Strangler Caught Scanning
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
The Boston Strangler was caught scanning, he wasn't scanning an extender, he
|
|
was scanning a prefix in his home town. The phone company shut his line off and
|
|
now Boston Strangler may have to go to court, he claims he is under 1XB but
|
|
this is doubtful.
|
|
|
|
An employee of the phone company actually called him and told him to not use
|
|
the phone because his supervisor was checking for trouble on the line.
|
|
Apparently Boston Strangler scanned the entire prefix and once he was finished
|
|
the phone company called and said that he was in a lot of trouble.

AT&T Suing The BOCs
|
|
-------------------
|
|
American Telephone and Telegraph is allegedly filing an 80 million dollar
|
|
lawsuit on the Bell Operating Companies. They filed a complaint with the FCC
|
|
in January 1986 that claims that certain BOCs owe AT&T 80 million dollars
|
|
because they failed to perform specific duties which were part of their billing
|
|
and collection contracts.
|
|
|
|
It is not known how much each company owes with the exception of Northwestern
|
|
Bell who owes $2 million.

Speed Demon Elite; Will It Return?
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
The rumors are true, Radical Rocker did forget to pay his phone bill, and as a
|
|
result Speed Demon Elite was shut down.
|
|
|
|
Any talk about SDE being busted for having credit card information on the board
|
|
should be ignored as it is completely false and only one phreak's
|
|
interpretation of past events.
|
|
|
|
Radical Rocker has stated that everyone should expect Speed Demon Elite to
|
|
return in the near future.

Private Sector Damaged/Returning
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
The Private Sector, which was supposed to have been returned by the 16th of
|
|
February, 1986 had been damaged in the hands of the authorities. According to
|
|
them, "one of the cards blew up." They say that this happened before they had
|
|
the chance to erase the two "illegal" files they found on the hard drive. So
|
|
now then they had to hold onto it a bit longer. Naturally 2600 Magazine
|
|
suspected intentional foul play and stepped up the pressure on them to return
|
|
Private Sector. 2600 suspected the card they authorities were referring to was
|
|
the hard disk controller. They wouldn't stick another controller from another
|
|
machine in and they wouldn't let 2600 Magazine even look at the machine. What
|
|
an outrage!
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
On Friday, February 28, 2600 Magazine announced the following.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Private Sector has finally been returned, and is in the process of being
|
|
repaired. It will be back up in the near future at the same number as before;
|
|
201-366-4431. Call 2600 Magazine at 516-751-2600 for more details.
|
|
|
|
At the current writing of this article, Private Sector is up and running. Only
|
|
time will tell if it will ever be the great bbs it once was.

TelePub'86
|
|
----------
|
|
The 1986 TelePub meeting (originally planned up by Sigmund Fraud) was held on
|
|
the second floor of the Days Inn Hotel at 440 W.57th St. New York, NY.
|
|
Supposedly the first Telepub meeting since 1980, when one was held in
|
|
Washington DC. The meeting room was called by some "The Colosseum."
|
|
|
|
There was a $10 admission fee to the meeting room. Supposedly Chesire
|
|
Catalyst's girlfriend (who some said was blind and had a seeing eye dog) was
|
|
collecting the money and handing out the name tags.
|
|
|
|
Some say there were about 25-30 people there in total, but Broadway Hacker
|
|
stated that there was only 23. This included:
|
|
|
|
Broadway Hacker
|
|
Chesire Catalyst + girlfriend
|
|
Dr. PHATE (P>hreaks H>ackers A>nd T>elecom E>nthusiasts)
|
|
Karl Marx
|
|
Lou Dolinar (reporter from Newsday Magazine in Long Island)
|
|
Ninja NYC
|
|
Private Sector + girl (Incidentally the programmer of the NEW Private Sector
|
|
BBS)
|
|
Sammy Junkins
|
|
Scan Man
|
|
Sigmund Fraud + friend
|
|
Slave Driver
|
|
The Bootleg
|
|
The Cracker
|
|
The Lineman
|
|
2600 Magazine - Tim and Paul
|
|
|
|
Most noted for not showing up were TUC and TWCB Inc. Since this meeting was
|
|
generally supposed to be about the revival of TAP Magazine, it was VERY
|
|
surprising to some that TWCB didn't go. To others however, this was expected.
|
|
|
|
Their reason (excuse) has something to do with late plane arrivals and legal
|
|
problems (probably dealing with restrictions due to their probation. Supposedly
|
|
TUC's phone number was posted on the board at the front of the meeting room for
|
|
those who wanted to get in touch with him.
|
|
|
|
There was basically chit chat until around 11:15 am when Chesire Catalyst began
|
|
talking about CCIS (Common Channel Inter-Office Signaling). His speech really
|
|
told nothing new but the best part of the discussion came out of the many
|
|
questions that were asked by the audience. Also around 11:15 is when Tim and
|
|
Paul from 2600 Magazine showed up.
|
|
|
|
A little later, Scan Man and The Bootleg started to discuss the possibilities
|
|
of satellite phreaking, and up & down linking.
|
|
|
|
A little later, Private Sector appeared and with him came an ad from Personal
|
|
Computing Magazine. The ad was from none other than Computel. Computel, the
|
|
supposed and almost definite fed operation magazine was discussed for quite a
|
|
long time.
|
|
|
|
Chesire Catalyst began to distribute the final issue of TAP. It was issue #91,
|
|
Spring 1984. It included articles about credit agencies and UNIX, from BIOC;
|
|
Hacking Western Union, by TUC; Phreaks and hackers Morality, by Big Brother;
|
|
Passport check sums, and Bell Pie, among others.
|
|
|
|
2600 Magazine gave out their latest issue, February 1986, Volume 3 Number 2 as
|
|
well as other promotional items.
|
|
|
|
Sigmund Fraud was giving out older issues of TAP.
|
|
|
|
Among other things, BBS numbers were passed and there were all sorts of
|
|
telecommunication magazines lying around.
|
|
|
|
There was a break for lunch. When they returned Scan Man started in on Chesire
|
|
about the money that MANY had sent in to TAP and never received the magazine or
|
|
their money back. Chesire replied, "It went to pay my bills." He also made
|
|
other remarks about how he hasn't spent it all and how he may send it back but
|
|
he really didn't ever answer the questions that Scan Man put to him.
|
|
|
|
Much of this information came from Slave Driver and Sigmund Fraud
