7 offenses. They confiscated everything.
The Underlord was escorted to their car (his mother followed behind) and driven
off to the police station. They told him something about cameras being all
over the station, but it did not matter to him because, "I wasn't going to kill
the guy or anything anyway." From there he was taken to a little room, in
which he overheard the police playing with my computer, phone, and tapes that
they confiscated.
He had to sit there alone for four hours until his dad drove his home and later
showed his the papers.
"They said I was being charged for four counts of 'theft of telecommunications'
(a real law in Canada), and three counts of mischief."
He was told that the mischief charges were because he called Emergency 911
(although he said he did it through a PBX) and told them obscenities with a
friend on three-way.
Practically six months later, on June 16, 1988, The Underlord finally received
everything back and went to court. He had to pay $750.00 total and serve eight
months probation. However, he only had the three counts of mischief on his
record.
He explained that in Canada, if the government wants to make you pay a fine,
they must prove that you have enough money to pay it first. However, UL did
not and so the authorities said they would drop the charges if he would pay the
$750.00.

Teen Hackers Ring Up Huge Phone Bill October 7, 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By Robert Macy (Associated Press)
Las Vegas, Nevada - Ten teen-age hackers may have run up to $650,000 in
telephone calls by tricking phone company computers, and their parents could be
liable for the tab, authorities said.
Tom Spurlock, resident agent-in-charge of the Las Vegas Secret Service office,
said the teen-agers engaged in Blue Boxing, a technique that enabled them to
talk to fellow hackers throughout Europe.
The teen-agers were not taken into custody or charged, but their computers were
seized. Spurlock said it will be up to AT&T to decide whether to seek
reimbursement once a final tally is obtained.

Virus Hits Unix at Bell Labs May 13, 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday the 13th, a devastating virus hit Bell Labs at Murray Hill. Initial
reports from survivors indicate that the destruction caused was very
widespread, although limited to Sun workstations. Rumor has it that the virus
was planted by a disgruntled Sun employee in the Sun Unix kernel. The actual
amount of work lost is unknown, as is the Murray Hill policies on frequency of
disk backups.

Translation Of 2600 Magazine Fall 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following appeared on page 46 of 2600 Magazine, Volume 5, Number 3. It was
in German and I took the liberty of having a friend who is a member of the
Chaos Computer Club in Germany translate it for PWN.
"Hacker" Free Again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the heads of the Hamburg CCC, S. Wernery, was released from jail in
Paris. The 26-year-old arrived at Hamburg airport yesterday (whenever that
was, there was no date on the article). He stated the accusations against him
were still being investigated. After having been questioned by a judge he was
released from bail, but has to return to Paris at request, though.
