I came across an article on this Craig Neidorf thing and how it turned
out. I haven't seen any articles on it so I thought I would post this.
If it is old news, just n on by.
All of the information is from Information Week, September 3, 1990,
page 55. Most of the article is about the EFF, it's only a page in
length, but this is the relevant information re: Phrack and Craig Neidorf.
"The U.S. Attorney's office in Chicago claimed that Neidorf, a 20-year-old
political science major at the University of Missouri, had reprinted illegally
obtained information from BellSouth Corp.'s 911 emergency telephone services,
and charged him with wire fraud and interstate transportation of stolen
property."
"An attorny Kapor knew investigated the Neidorf case and others stemming
from Operation Sun Devil, which activated 28 search warrants in 14 cities
earlier this year. The attorney informed Barlow and Kapor that the cases
represented a ""major assault on the Constitution.""
"The charges against Neidorf were all dropped on July 27, after his attorney
proved that anyone with a computer could access the BellSouth data."
