Heck! I dunno, but whoever it was, I think, should let himself (the s00per
K-rad elyte d00d he is) be known.
I wasn't on MIT, but it was pretty dumb of MIT to even let Hackers on. I
wouldn't really worry though, they did let you on, and all you have to prove is
that you had no reason to do it.

I highly doubt that is was someone on this system. Since this is an elite
board, I think all the users are pretty decent and know right and wrong things
to do. Could be that one of the users on this system called another system and
gave it out!??

It seems to me, or, what I gathered, they felt that there were going to be
hackers on the system to begin with and that this way they could keep
themselves basically safe.
I doubt that it was Celtic Phrost, I don't think he'd be an asshole like that.
But I can't say. When I posted, I was pretty pissed about the whole deal. I've
calmed down now. Psychic Warlord said something to me voice the other day that
made me stop and think. What if this was a set up right from the start? I
mean, MIT won't give me specifics on just what supposedly happened, Celtic
Phrost denies everything, and the biggest part of it is what George said to me.
"We can forgive you for what you did to us if you'll promise to go straight and
never do this again and just tell us who all of your friends are that are on
the system".
I didn't pay much attention to that remark at first, now I'm beginning to
wonder...
I, of course, didn't narc on anyone. (Who do I know??? hehe)

It wouldn't surprise me if it was some kind of setup, it's been done before.

The Solution
~~~~~~~~~~~~
What more is there to say? It definitely looks like there was a setup involved
and it probably was not the first time and probably will not be the last time
either. So how can you protect yourself?
As far as the bulletin boards go. There is an unwritten rule somewhere that
basically says that to be a good sysop, you first have to be a good user. If
the sysop of some mystery board is not someone you have seen around for a long
time, then I would not call. However, even if it is someone who has been
around, references from someone you feel you can trust is a necessity. It all
boils down to the reliability of the information and the persons involved.
When dealing with systems like the MIT Unix, remember, if its too good to be
true then most likely there will be something that you are not being told.
Who in their right mind is going to give free accounts to an important system
with delicate information to a group of hackers? Its crazy.
This file will hopefully serve as an informative fresh look at an old game. To
me, even if the time I spent putting this article together helps out or saves
only one phreak/hacker, I feel my job has been done successfully.
