Widely known as Captain Crunch, the notorious "phone phreak" hacker John T. Draper is starting an Internet security software and consulting firm aimed at protecting the online property of corporations.

Considering that John Draper is one of the most bizzare and annoying people I have ever met, I hope he has someone else to do the P.R. work. The last time I talked to John (about 1995) he was a burn-out case who could barely operate his Mac and was living on the streets. I am wondering if someone is using him as a figurehead to do business under a well known name. alan@ctrl-alt-del.com | Note to AOL users: for a quick shortcut to reply Alan Olsen | to my mail, just hit the ctrl, alt and del keys.
