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?
Sounds like grade a bullshit to me. I mean come on, if a company that size had exploits like that, then it wouldn't be much of a company would it? A company that size would have people that looked after security issues. Besides, guest/guest is default for almost everything, im sure they'd have changed it.
You do realize this was more than 12 years ago dont you?
