[NOISE] Mysterious Numbers in Hacked DOJ Pages

This should be good for a conspiracy thread or two: I've noticed that nobody seems to be taking credit for the DOJ hack. In studying the hacked page (I thought maybe they'd leave a clue as to who they were), I noticed that on the top right corner of the page, there are two sets of numbers. The first says "1020" and the second says "757." The are stored in the same .JPG file, 1020757.jpg. In poking around the HTML source, the following appears in the source code, but not on the actual page when it's in a browser (HTML source comments): <! Why did you betray us? Why are you taking our rights? What ever happened > <! to the law of the land? 757 1020 > Note that this time, the numbers are in the reverse order. (Also note that 202.757.1020 does not appear to be the DOJ phone number - I tried). For all I know, these numbers are relevant to the CDA or some other legal/legislative source. Or maybe I'm missing something really obvious. Anyone have any insight into what the numbers actually mean? Could there be some crypto (key?) relevance here that we're missing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Just as the strength of the Internet is |Mark Aldrich | |chaos, so the strength of our liberty |GRCI INFOSEC Engineering | |depends upon the chaos and cacophony of |maldrich@grci.com | |the unfettered speech the First Amendment|MAldrich@dockmaster.ncsc.mil | |protects - District Judge Stewart Dalzell| | |_______________________________________________________________________| |The author is PGP Empowered.

Try the 908 area code, from which the initial report to alt.2600 came. I haven't tried the number, because I don't want to incriminate myself, but 757 appears to be a valid exchange. The Cisco 1020 has a default password that some people forget to change. A Boeing 757 went down under mysterious circumstances recently. The time was approximately 10:20 AM. Why hasn't the press reported whether a close Clinton associate involved in the Mena affair was aboard that plane? Hmmmmm. Add the numbers up and you get 1777, "the shot heard 'round the world." What was going on in Area 51 last week? 1-888-757-1020 is mysteriously "unreachable" now. -rich
