A Real Hack
-----------
Received this in the mail the other day, fakemailed to me.
Let this be a good lesson to the media and their shitty bias.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hackers have the unfair reputation of being evil. Always up to no good
and out to destroy every computer they come across and to use every
credit card number they can find.
The media is, in our eyes, the sole entity responsible for this
misrepresentation in the public eye. Hackers make media headlines only
when they have damaged or stolen something. Hey, sensationalism and
ratings are all they give a fuck about, and stories about good hackers
don't produce either.
On April 8th of this year, a young girl disappeared from northern
California and was believed to be in the Los Angeles area. Police and
federal agencies were not making any progress, as trying to find a
missing girl in Los Angeles is pretty much a hopeless cause because of
the geographical size of it.
An interesting idea was sparked when in conversation with a federal
agency, familiar with some of the hobbies of the family member of the
missing girl, suggested that his resources were "better than theirs" in
such a situation.
This hacker then got on the phone and starting calling all of his friends
dispersed throughout California, seeing who was available and what
resources could be tapped. It was Sunday afternoon, April 21st.
The informal group believes that every persons mistake is in their use of
the phone. So, naturally, the first resource was the phone company. Once
in, call details were pulled of the missing person and then call detail
reports pulled from each of those numbers covering a three month period
of time.
Frequent numbers were tallied starting from newest to oldest and then
distributed for the calls to begin. Meanwhile, hackers were weaving their
way through the network of local and federal law enforcement agencies,
credit companies and bank and gas company card user databases. Everything
was coming up blank. The only information found all led back to the point
of disappearance.
Except for one small piece of information. An SSA search listed a
temporary mailing address used many years earlier for corresspondence to
that individual. Back into the phone company to pull the customer
information on that address. Bogus call to see who answered was then made.
No one familiar.
It was now late Monday morning. A hacker friend located in the area of
the address parked across the street armed with printouts of .jpg files
scanned earlier that morning and emailed to him. He was going to stick
around and see what was happening.
The call came at 12:05 p.m. Monday afternoon. She was there! The
appropriate calls were made and the whole thing came to an end thirty
minutes later with another phone call between family members.
Hackers come in many ideologies. There are those who destroy and steal,
but most are just intellectually curious with an abundance of knowledge
of how the system works. This was just the kind of people who used their
resources to settle a missing persons case in less than twenty-four hours
after a federal agency couldn't do it themselves, and basically suggested
they do what they had to do.
The irony is that these data trackers committed close to a hundred
felonies in the process of tracking this missing person. The federal
agencies would have used the same type of methods to accomplish the same
thing, but they wouldn't have had broken a single law. And these federal
officers work for us, yet they are also the ones who will kick in your
door at six in the morning and terrorize the fuck out of you and drag you
into jail for doing the same thing.
No one was defrauded, not a single thing damaged or stolen. Justifiable,
unofficially-sactioned activities that may have ultimately saved the
taxpayers millions of dollars. Yet, we're the criminals.
This story was intentionally written to be vague, non-descriptive and
non-incriminating. Yet the story is very much true. We wish not to be known.
