Kevin Poulsen, also known by the web handle “Dark Dante”, is arrested for hacking into thePacific Bell telephone systems following a seventeen month pursuit. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had sought to arrest Poulsen under the suspicion that he had hacked into adatabase of information concerning the investigation of former Philippine presidentFerdinand Marcos, but Poulsen and his cohort, hacker Justin Petersen fled. During their time in hiding, Poulsen and Petersen discovered a security hole in Pacific Bell’s test and maintenance system which could be exploited to take control of any phone line within Pacific Bell’s network. The allegedly simple hack only required one computer and two phone lines – one with which to control the system and one with which to monitor the system. Poulsen and Petersen used the exploit to seize control of the phone lines of radio station KIIS-FM 102 in order to win several call-in contests. Over the course of seventeen months, they won two brand new Porsches, twenty thousand dollars, and two Hawaiian vacations. When Poulsen was featured on Unsolved Mysteries, the pair crashed the show’s toll-free hotline just as Poulsen’s picture came on the screen. Poulsen was finally captured after the television episode aired nationally bysupermarket employees who recognized and restrained him in their store. Poulsen will be held without bail for five years, before he is charged with money laundering and wire fraud with the more serious charges dropped. He will be sentenced retroactively to five years’ “time served” and released on the condition that he not touch a computer for three more years. Poulsen will later go on to become the senior editor of Wired News.Read more about Kevin Poulsen at the NNDB website.
