teller machines and banks to the internal telephone systems at
the White House. Hackers have found ways around them all
hackers even have their own underground publication of sorts
that tells them how to do it.
[Close up of publication]
Its called 2600 [2600 Magazine], after the 2600 hertz that
phone phreaks use to bypass telephone companies billing
equipment. It tells you how to find credit card numbers and
confidential records in trash bins, break into private
mainframe computers, access airline's computers, and find
financial information on other people through the nations
largest credit bureau, TRW. 2600 is published in a
ram-shackled old house at the far end of Long Island, New York
by this man, Eric Corley. He argues that hackers aren't
electronic gangsters.
Eric Corley: We like to call them freedom fighters. Hackers are the true
individuals of the computer revolution, they go were people tell
them not to go, they find out things they weren't supposed to
find out.
Mike Wendland: Corley's newsletter supports a hacker bulletin board called the
Private Sector. Last year the F.B.I. raided it.
Eric Corley: They managed to charge the system operator with illegal
possession of a burglary tool in the form of a computer program.
Mike Wendland: But the bulletin board is still in operation. Corley resents
the suspicion that hackers are involved in criminal activities.
Eric Corley: Hackers are not the people who go around looking for credit cards
and stealing merchandise. That's common thievery. Hackers are
the people who explore. So basically what we are saying is more
knowledge for more people. That will make it better for
everybody.
Mike Wendland: He claims that hackers, in their own ways, really protect our
rights by exposing our vulnerabilities. Well hackers may
expose our vulnerabilities, but they also invade our privacy.
There activities have really spotlighted the whole question of
privacy raised by the massive files that are now out there in
electronic data banks. Much of that information that we think
is personal and confidential is often available to the whole
world.
