Shadow Hawk Busted Again
========================
As many of you know, Shadow Hawk (a/k/a Shadow Hawk 1)
had his home searched by agents of the FBI, Secret Service, and
the Defense Criminal Investigative Services and had some of his
property confiscated by them on September 4th. We're not going
to reprint the Washington Post article as it's available through
other sources. Instead, a summary:
In early July SH bought an AT&T 3B1 ("Unix PC") with a
67MB drive for a dirt-cheap $525. He got Sys V 3.5 for another
$200 but was dissatisfied with much of the software they gave him
(e.g. they gave him uucp version 1.1).
When he was tagged by the feds, he had been downloading
software (in the form of C sources) from various AT&T systems.
According to reports, these included the Bell Labs installations
at Naperville, Illinois and Murray Hill, New Jersey. Prosecutors
said he also gained entry to (and downloades software from) AT&T
systems at a NATO installation in Burlington, North Carolina and
Robins AFB in Georgia. AT&T claims he stole $1 million worth of
software. Some of it was unreleased software taken from the Bell
Labs systems that was given hypothetical price tags by Bell Labs
spokespersons. Agents took his 3B1, two Atari STs he had in his
room, and several diskettes.
SH is 17 and apparently will be treated as a minor. At
the time of this writing, he will either be subject to federal
prosecution for 'computer theft' or will be subject to
prosecution only by the State of Illinois.
SH's lawyer, Kaaren Plant, was quoted as saying that SH
"categorically denies doing anything that he should not have been
doing" and that he "had absolutely no sinister motives in terms
of stealing property." As we said, he was just collecting
software for his new Unix PC. When I talked to Ms. Plant on
September 25th, she told me that she had no idea if or when the
U.S. Attorney would prosecute. Kaaren Plant can be reached at
(312) 263-1355. her address is 134 North LaSalle, #306, Chicago,
Illinois.

So you see, I'm screwed. Oh yeah, even worse! In my
infinate wisdom (stupidity, take your pick 8-)) I set up a local
AT&T owned 7300E to call me up and send me their uucp files (my
uucp works ok for receive) and guess what. I don't think I need
to elaborate on THAT one... (holding my breath, so to type)
