3-30-96 TWP reports on an Argentinian hacker who penetrated a slew of sensitive networks and how the FBI tracked him by getting a warrant to run a sniffer-filter at Harvard, the POE. The hacker's dad, a Lt. Col., barks, "The Yankees don't have the slightest idea about security. If a kid can enter, they should be ashamed to admit it." The Feds snort, "The case underscores the vulnerability of computer systems worldwide, a preview of a coming era of cyber-sleuthing, what computer crime-fighting will look like in the coming years." And that it shows they can catch tresspassers without violating other users' privacy. Banisar sniffs, "The case shows that there's a need for more encryption." SNI_ffs
