asshole, I pay for my calls, and I don't use MCI." He's dumbfounded.
I wish him the worst as he asks me to leave his rather threatening
post up on my board and we hang up on him.
Now, I'm half paralyzed... hmmm.... Check his info-form... he left a
number in 303... Denver.... I grab the phone and call it.. It's the Stromberg
Telephone company... Bingo.. I've got him.
I search my user files and come up with a user called "Cocheese" from
there, and I voice validated him, and he said he worked for a small telco
called Stromberg... I'm onto him now.
Later in the week, I'm in a telco office in a nearby major city, I
happen to see a book, marked "Confidential Employee Numbers for AT&T." I
thumb thru and lo and behold, an R.F. Stromberg works at an office of AT&T in
Denver, and I can't cross reference him to an office. (A sure sign he's in
security). Well, not to be out-done by this loser... I dial up NCIC and check
for a group search for a driver's licence for him... Bingo. Licence number,
cars he owns, his SS number, and a cross reference of the licence files finds
his wife, two kids and a boat registered to him.
I've never called him back, but If I do have any trouble with him, I'm
gonna pay a little visit to Colorado....

Phrack Seventeen
07 April 1988
File 1 of 12 : Phrack XVII Introduction
It's been a long time, but we're back. After two successful releases
under the new editorship, Taran King told us that with his vacation from
school, he'd be able to put Phrack Seventeen together. His plans soon
changed, and Seventeen was now our responsibility again. Procrastination set
in, and some difficulty was encountered in compiling the files, but we finally
did it and here it is.
There's a lot of good material in this issue, and we're lucky enough to
have PWN contributions from several sources, making it a true group effort.
Since The Mad Chemist and Sir Francis Drake, as well as myself, are moving on
to other things, the editorship of Phrack Inc. may be changing with the
release of Phrack Eighteen. Regardless of what direction the publication
takes, I know that I will have no part in the creation of the next issue, so
I'd like to mention at this time that my involvement with the magazine, first
as a contributor and later as a contributing editor, has been fun. Phrack
will go on, I'm sure, for another seventeen issues at least, and will continue
to be a primary monument to the vitality of the hacker culture.

BUST UPDATE
===========
All the people busted by the Secret Service last July were contacted in
September and asked if they "wanted to talk." No one but Solid State heard
from the S.S. after this. Solid State was prosecuted and got one year
probation plus some required community service. The rest: Ninja NYC, Bill
>From RNOC, Oryan QUEST, etc. are still waiting to hear. Some rumors have gone
around that Oryan QUEST has cooperated extensively with the feds but I have no
idea about the validity of this. The following is a short interview with
Oryan QUEST. Remember that QUEST has a habit of lying.
PHRACK: Did you hear from the SS in September? It seems everybody else has.
QUEST: No. I haven't heard from them since I was busted. Maybe they forgot
me.
