Author: iDH Staff "I can't believe it. I passed your articles on hackers around the office just three weeks ago. Now I'm looking at our PBX and we're being hacked. What can I do?" Let me tell you, a call like that wakes an editor up from his afternoon nap fast. The concern in Richard Deal's voice is evident. "They're hacking you now?" I ask, disbelieving. "Yes. Now. They used our 800 number and got in through our mailbox. The mailbox people tell me 'no way,' but it's happening. I don't even know if our number is still out on some bulletin board service." I look at the clock. Just after 3 p.m. on an othe...

Author: iDH Staff There are many ways to break into your phone system. But one small company, LeeMah Datacom Security Corp. in Hayward, Calif., claims it is the only vendor to offer a security solution to block hackers from all of them. Hackers, or phone "phreaks," typically break in through voice-mail systems, maintenance ports that let engineers work on the PBX from a remote location, and remote access features that allow travelling executives to place outgoing calls. The majority of solutions protect against hackers breaking into maintenance ports, but those kind of break-ins account for only 10% of all hacking, according to LeeMah pre...

Author: iDH Staff How would you know? If all you know about the word is what you've seen on the evening news, or read in a magazine, you're probably feeling indignant at the very question! But do those magazine-selling headlines really describe what a Hacker is? Some time ago (MicroTimes, December 1986) I defined a Hacker as "Any person who derives joy from discovering ways to circumvent limitations." The definition has been widely quoted since that time, but unfortunately has yet to make the evening news in the way that a teenager who robs a bank with his telephone does. Does that teenaged criminal fit my definition? Possibly. Do...

Author: iDH Staff CAPITAL, a German monthly specialized in financial aspects of economy, had a story, in it's July edition, about a phone phreak "Kimble" who offers an AMIGA-based program with built-in frequencies to switch your telecom connection over more than 20 countries. In June, he demonstrated this program in CAPITAL's office in Duesseldorf, in the presence of some experts from a criminal agency and an IT security experts. German Telecom was informed days ahead the presentation but could not trace his dialling experiments which lead him from Duesseldorf to Canada (known as normal entry of European Phreaks to the New World),...

Author: iDH Staff Italian thieves have managed to pull off the world's most ingenious cash card fraud. A perfect replica of a bank cash dispenser was glued on top of the real thing and swallowed cards inserted by unsuspecting customers when they tried to withdraw money. Police say that the thieves collected 104 cards before staff at the bank, in Busto Arsizio, near Milan, were alerted. Normally a stolen bank card is useless without the owner's Personal Identification Number. But the thieves programmed their fake machine to request the customers' PIN numbers before telling them the card had been accidentally demagnetized and wa...

by Adrenalin Members * NOTE * This is the first time an idea such as this has been used. This is a compilation of all the different opinions on one topic from a few members of the Adrenalin Staff. There will be a different topic in every issue where every member who wishes to express their opinion may do so. The question for this issue is: What's your opinion on the paranoia by the law enforcement agency that occurs through everyone's mind at one time or another? How much caution should be used? ..I feel that there is something to be learned from busts. It's true that many people go overboard when a person in the "pirate scene...
