past year and a half or so and a big thanks to all of the writers who have
kept the publication going for all this time. But after this issue comes a
break. Not a break in putting Phrack out, but a break in the grind and rush
to get it out as I did with this issue. Phrack 13 will be EXTREMELY
different, and I guarantee that to you. Phrack 13 will be released on April
1st (hmm...ring any bells?) so be watching for it! Later

This issue of PWN marks the anniversary of Metal Shop Brewery.
Things are looking up. Metal Shop Private is back and all previous members
are asked to call back. The same passwords and logons still work and even
better, the old posts have been saved despite the hard drive crash a few
months ago.
Phrack XIII will be released on April 1, 1987; April Fool's Day!
It features joke files, fiction files, humorous files, and of course, rag
files. With all the seriousness of the regular issues of Phrack, this is a
chance to release some building flashes of comedy. Please note that files for
Phrack XIII can only be submitted by members of Metal Shop Private. This does
not apply to other issues of Phrack. Don't miss it!
SummerCon 1987
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For those that don't already know, TeleComputist Newsletter and Phrack Inc.
are sponsoring this year's big phreak gathering in St. Louis, Missouri. As
many of you may note, St. Louis is the home of Metal Shop Private, Phrack
Inc., and TeleComputist Newsletter. We all hope that since St. Louis is in
the middle of the country that it will be easy for people to attend. We
extend an invitation to anyone who wants to come. We will have a conference
room and two suites in a hotel in St. Louis.
The official date for SummerCon 1987 is June 19,20. This is far enough into
the summer that everyone of the younger generation should be out of school and
early enough that no one has to worry about facing reality right away. This
date has also been chosen specifically as to not interfere with the St. Louis
VP Fair (Vale Profit).
If you are going to attend SummerCon, we ask that you contact Knight
Lightning, Taran King, or Forest Ranger for more details. The TeleComputist
Information Line is (314) 921-7938. The names of those attending will be kept
confidential so as to not cause anyone discomfort, however we do ask that you
identify yourself at the conference by means of a name tag or some form of
identification. Security personal is welcome to attend, but we request that
you let us know ahead of time. If anyone, especially security personnel,
would like to speak at SummerCon please also let us know and we will schedule
you in.

Hackers Caught Using Credit Card To Buy More Equipment February 20, 1987
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By Ben L. Kaufman of The Cincinnati Enquirer
"I was uneasy about the pickup."
Two young "hackers" in Milford using an electronic bulletin board to get
stolen credit card numbers and buy hardware to expand their computers. Now
they're in big trouble because unauthorized use of a credit card is a federal
offense and the Secret Service caught them. "Computer-aided credit card fraud
is increasingly common, said special agent in charge, James T. Christian on
Tuesday, "but using the filched name and number to enhance computer clout was
a unique touch."
The two youths had a $1,300 order sent to an abandoned house on Ohio 131E,
