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."
