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 validfDty 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 havn't heard from them since I was busted. Maby they forgot me.
P: Whats your lawyer think of your case?
Q: He says lay low. He says its no problem because of my age.
P: What do your parents think?
Q: They were REALLY pissed for about a week but then they relaxed. I
mean I think my parents knew I went through enough...I mean I felt like
shit.
P: Do you plan to keep involved in Telecom legit or otherwise?
Q: Uhh, I wanna call boards...I mean I can understand why sysop wouldnt
give me an access but...I'm thinking of putting a board up, a secure board
just to stay in touch ya know? Cause I had alot of fun I mean I just dont
want to get busted again.
P: Any further words of wisdom?
Q: No matter what anyone says I'm *ELITE*. NOO don't put that.
P: Yes I am
Q: No I don't want people to think Im a dick
P: Well...
Q: Your a dick.
- On a completely different note, Taran King who as some of you know was
busted, is going to be writing a file for Phrack about what happened Real
Soon Now.
MEDIA
===================
The big media thing has been scare stories about computer virus's,
culminating in a one page Newsweek article writtend by good old Stanza and
friends. John Markoff of the San Francisco Examiner wrote articles on
virus's, hacking voice mailboxs, and one that should come out soon about the
July Busts's (centering on Oryan QUEST.) A small scoop: He may be leaving
for the New York Times or the San Jose Mercury.
Phreak media wise things have been going down hill. Besides PHRACK
(which had a bad period but hopefuly we're back for good) there is 2600,
and Syndicate Report. Syndicate Report is dead, allthough their voice mail
system is up. Sometimes. 2600 has gone from a monthly magazine to a
quarterly one because they were loosing so much money. One dead and 2
wounded.
MISCELLANEOUS
===================
Taran King and Knight Lightening are having a fun time in their fraternity
at University of Missiouri. Their respective GPA's are 2.1 and 2.7
aproximatly.... Phantom Phreaker and Doom Prophet are in a (punk/metal)
band ... Lex Luthor is alive and writing long articles for 2600 ... Sir Francis
Drake sold out and wrote phreak articles for Thrasher ... Jester Sluggo has
become vaguely active again ...
CONCLUSION
===================
Less and less people are phreaking, the world is in sorry shape, and I'm
going to bed. Hail Eris.
