I dont know if anyone saw it but last night on TLC there was a show about hacking.. They said the all time best hacker was
'Captain zap' and the best job he did was to change the clocks at AT&T 12 hours ahead so every single customer paid less for long distance. All he did was found the port address to the AT&T maintinance computer and logged in as Guest/Guest and changed it... But it affected so many people they considered it to be the greatest hack of all time.

The most amusing thing about the segment of that show was when the narrator said 'In hacker terminology: He owned it.'

But the main porpose of the show was to scare people away from hacking by showing their methods of keeping the computers secure. Hmm.. I think that would help 'hackers' find exploits.

What do you think?
