Mysteries of the Las Vegas Telecom System

Posted by michael on from the your-call-cannot-be-completed-as-dialed dept.

Reverend Raven writes "This is from Security Focus and deals with how some people believe a group of uber-hackers controls the Vegas telecom system. Interesting read, indeed." A follow-up to this old story. The case seems to be still winding its way through the bureaucracy.

      Why certainly, just tell her to hurry up. She's usually extremely fucking slow. Tell her to go to the clinic to get rid of some of her bugs as well, skanky bitch.

    I was all settled into my overstuffed leather chair ready to read about a hacking conspiracy in Las Vegas and -- BAM! -- out of the blue I'm broadsided with reference to über Hacker Kevin Mitnick.

    Can't a guy get a break? Surely there's a hacking story out there that doesn't mention Kevin Mitnick. Isn't there?

    Anyway, did the cretins who run these prostitution rings ever think that just perhaps word got out that their girls were all used up? Why is it that a business people are more apt to blame a WILD-EYED CONSPIRACY THEORY instead of accepting the market's decision to cut them out of the loop? It's like die-hard Catholics blaming the Devil for all the slander against their holy priests and other dwellers of the demonic branches of the tree of deformity (see Matt 13 for a description of the annual herb that becomes a perennial roosting place for the demons). Pure self-delusion.

    I am a crooked man
    And I've walked a crooked mile
    Night, the shameless widow
    Doffed her weeds, in a pile
    The stars all winked at me
    They shamed a child
    Your funeral, my trial

    A thousand Marys lured me
    To feathered beds and fields of glover
    Bird with crooked wing cast
    It's wicked shadow over
    A bauble moon did mock
    And trinket stars did smile
    Your funeral, my trial

    Here I am, little lamb...
    Let all the bells in whoredom ring
    All the crooked bitches that she was
    (Mongers of pain)
    Saw the moon
    Become a fang
    Your funeral, my trial

    Kevin Mitnik used to be one of the Uber Hackers that played with the Vegas telco industry. This is one of the places that he'd hide out, and run his little games.

    He admitted this, said it was an easy system to hack, and one of his favorite jumping off points because of this.

    FREE KEVIN, he only admitted to doing what he was accused of.
