Dec. 29 (The Dallas Morning News/KRTBN)--While Y2K wary Americans ring in the New Year with champagne and flashlights, computer hackers are set to celebrate with what security experts fear will be an unprecedented assault on computer systems across the globe. The potential assault, as described by hackers and federal law enforcement officials, is likely to include cybermischief as elemental as website defacement or the planting.....
A 17-year-old Colorado Springs boy was charged in juvenile court Tuesday with one count each of computer crime and criminal mischief after he broke into the city's Web site in October and replaced it with the message, "i love this city ytcracker 9d9 palmer high."

America Online, Inc. is the latest Net crime victim to have the privacy of some of its 23 million members violated. While the extent of weekend damage is unknown, the knowledge of how to access security holes in America Online's (Quote, Chart) network is spreading quickly through Internet channels. While AOL members are assured at every point of contact that their information is secure from potential maliciousness,.....

MasterAOL for AOL 7.0 US GM
sup[z] to: adam, artem, atm, dime, infamous, nec, plex, syg, xom and countless others.
Here it is, the first masteraol (star tool) for aol7. To install just double click on the .exe file (you will need to input the path to your aol7), then copy over the master.tol file into your \america online 7.0\tool\ folder.
Once you sign on you’ll get the master menu, however it’s a really crappy one. To fix this delete 32-487 in the main.idx file using dbview (available at aol-files.com). If you can’t find dbview you could hex the main.idx and rename 32-487 to something else. Once deleted, when you load aol the master menu will be 32-2543, which is also the aol4/5/6 masteraol menu.
Credit goes to Artem for hexing the main install file and the tool file. I should mention that aol added extra security to the aol7 tools (masteraol and vpd), so be careful. I am not aware of any security issues with this, however be careful. In general aol7 is a big pile of spyware so i would stick to aol5 if possible 🙂
All files were scanned with newest version of norton antivirus updated.

With his baby face and doughy body, 17-year-old Joshua Gilson does not look like your typical FBI quarry.
In fact, huddled over his Toshiba laptop, with rock music blaring from his bedroom stereo and Jerry Springer flickering on the TV, the Sheepshead Bay resident looks like any other teenager, albeit one experiencing maximum sensory overload, 1998-style.
But actually Gilson is part of a nationwide networkof teenage computer hackers who have stolen everything from Internet accounts to credit card numbers, a cybergang that has flourished despite a yearlong effort by the FBI to curb this online piracy, the Voice has learned. “I’ve stolen accounts and stuff like that. I didn’t even think it was that big of a deal,” Gilson said. “Everybody does it.”
For months, federal investigators have been serving subpoenas and search warrants at the homes of these young hackers, carting away computers, disks, modems, and other items as parents watch in horror. Agents with the FBI’s computer crimes squad have recently raided homes across the metropolitan area–from Brooklyn to the New Jersey suburbs–as part of a probe into wide-scale credit card fraud and other cybercrimes.
In several instances, agents visited the same residences more than once — first in mid 1997 and then again earlier this year — because some young hackers were undeterred by the federal probe. According to one court record, a hacker recently boasted to a friend that “nothing could be done to him because he was a minor.”
One federal investigator acknowledged that while “it’s tough to prosecute a juvenile,” the FBI is “not always sure you’re gonna find a teenager” at “the end of the string.” The source added, “And if you do, it still doesn’t mean the game is off, because if the damage is severe enough it is still a crime and it’s still a problem.”
Since the probe is ongoing–and every target appears to be underage —
investigators have tried to keep details of the case confidential, including whether any teenagers have been arrested on federal charges. But interviews with several subjects of the criminal inquiry and a confidential FBI document obtained by the Voice provide a detailed look at the current investigation.
The federal probe began last spring, when agents learned of the “massive deployment of a password-stealing program” on the Internet, according to the FBI document. The scheme targeted accounts on America Online (AOL), the nation’s largest online service. AOL is a favorite nesting place for young hackers, who congregate in chat rooms with names like Dead End and Island 55. “Fifteen seems to be the preferred age for an AOL hacker,” said one long-in-the-tooth 18-year-old hacker.
You ever get sick of the internet anymore? Back in 1998-2003 I could literally just stay online for days. Pulling all nighters was easy. Jolt cola, hackers movie playing on the tube TV behind me. Log into any chat iXa, vb, phishy, cerver, island55, darkside, etc. You never knew what was going to happen that night. Were you getting pws'd? and spending your entire night.....
The following numbers are MR tokens for use with AOL. If you have the right equipment (which many don't), you can use these to go directly to a conference room. Some of these tokens lead to staff-only rooms, however, these can STILL be accessed by non-staff. 1 Town Hall 3 Classroom 4 The OGF Commons 5 Writers Workshop 6-8 Classroom 9 Geoworks Chat Room 10 .....
