I used to say "when will be wake up to the security problem" but after the meetings I have attended, I think we have woken up. Now is the time to start serious research to fix it. Dave AN AMERICAN REPORTER SPECIAL REPORT + by Joe Shea American Reporter Correspondent Hollywood, Calif. 3/29/96 hacker 924/$9.24 FIRST-EVER COMPUTER WIRETAP BAGS BUENOS AIRES HACKER by Joe Shea American Reporter Correspondent WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The first authorized computer network wiretap has led to charges against a 21-year-old computer hacker who used the Internet and Harvard University's computer system to break into Pentagon and NASA computers. Attorney General Janet Reno and Massachussetts U.S. Atty. Donald K. Stern said said Jacob Ardita, a Buenos Aires university student who ran a computer BBS called "Scream" ("griton" in Spanish) was caught in part by a search for his online moniker in another BBS whose files were posted to the Net. A warrant for Ardita's arrest has been issued.
