The NYT today has a long piece on phone hackers, "The Good. The Bad. The Geeks." With focus on a a few in New York City: Mantis, Wicked, Bell Boy, Vertigo, et al. Mantis admits working with LEAs in catching pedophiles and phreakers (note link) who do not abide the "Hacker Ethic" of doing no harm, only "helping society" by exposing security weaknesses. Not all Feds and phreakers agree that pedophobic Feds and teeny-cute phreaks help society, although the pedophilic Agency allegedly abusing the adorable phreaker for its come-on entrapment had "no comment" to its online childlove racketeering and profiteering, sort of like the NYT's art spiegel comic today. http://www.nytimes.com Our clone: http://jya.com/gbg.htm
