April 10 edition of
"It Sucks to Be Me!"
There's another web site that makes fun of people who commit
computer crime at http://www.somethingawful.com/spam/icq-pike-01.htm.
These folks even went so far as to put up an April Fool's fake
hack of their web site, which Attrition.org
reported as a real hack! But then we aren't surprised, as
Attrition is infamous for
feeding gullible reporters phony stories.

It sucks to be me!
hi i found your web site and i need your help to hack this other
web
site. the address is: http://www.defenselink.mil/
i need all the passwords and logins you can get and i need lots
of
credit card numbers and if you can get any confidential information
i
can sell to the media i would like that too. i need this because
my
girlfriend's dad's x-wive's first husband's daughter is e-mailing
the
president and i need access to this computer so she will think
i'm
cool and won't break up with me because i only have one other
friend in the world and he lives in africa and doesn't have a
phone and i need the money so i can go see him because i haven't
seen him in five year and i need to smuggle him into the us (can
you hack the border patrol computers so it looks like he lives
in the us so i can get him across, too) so my girlfriend and
my other friend and me can run away and become the most feared
hacking group ever and we can go trash computers and make everybody
really scared of us. any help would be much appreciated.
thanks.
hackers uv thu wurld, untie!
P.S. they said i could hack their computers

Subject: Security Hackers
My name is Nick, I live in West Palm Beach, Florida. I am
17 now when I was12 I started hacking into AOL' and some small
BBS along with my most stupidest mistake GREAT WESTERN BANK of
Washington D.C. Since then I have been off and now just go on
computers for social purposes but since a few days ago I think
that all my computer programming skillz are coming back!!!! I
mean I think you could really care less about me but I was wondering
if you know a security expert that deals with AREA 51, and DEF
CON because he was trying to recret me to join and I read that
you had somehting to do with these groups? His name is John all
I know is that he is about 23 rich as hell and was one of the
first to storm AOL and steal numerous info and because of that
AOL put him on staff and has now moved up to better things...besides
that he said I would have to goto atlanta next month if I wanted
to try out. WHAT EVER INFO YOU CAN GIVE ME IS GREAT,thanx
Nick
Carolyn replies: That sounds pretty
seductive. Then again, maybe your new friend is a liar. He's
telling you, commit crime, get rich, be cool. Only it rarely
works that way, and if it does, it doesn't last long. See our
computer crime section for lots of true,
frightening stories about people who
ruined their lives thorugh computer crime.

Subject: need help
I have a question and I am not sure if you can help me but
maybe you might be able to direct me to someone taht can....I
have a freind that is on ICQ, so I am able to get the IP number
through there, and I can hack her using the netbus program, but
I have another friend that is NOT on ICQ, so I dont have access
to her IP number. That one that doesnt have ICQ, is the one that
I REALLY want to hack (friendly hacking though, I dont agree
with deleting files etc...I had it done to me). Is there a program
out there that I can use to find this persons IP????? PLEASE
help me........thanks alot....
Carolyn replies: Now that's a new
excuse...
