Publisher's Note
In 1992 a hacking incident of unprecedented proportions spread from universities to government contractors to military sites and even to nuclear weapons labs. This book reveals the true story of the most widespread hacking incident to date--and issues an ominous warning about the fatal flaws of the Internet.

This book is the astonishing, never before-revealed tale of perhaps one of the biggest and most disturbing Internet computer attacks to date. For two years a computer break-in artist known only as "Phantom Dialer" seized control of hundreds -- perhaps thousands -- of computer networks across the country and around the world. Frightened network administrators watched helplessly as the intruder methodically slipped into universities, corporations, banks, federal agencies, and military facilities, including top-secret weapons-research sites. Working up to twenty hours a day, Phantom Dialer obsessively broke into one network after another. As the number of victims mounted, Phantom Dialer became the subject of the first major investigation of the FBI's new computer-crime squad and one of the biggest manhunts in the history of electronic crime.

Industry Reviews
"Freedman and Mann do a creditable job of hiding the arcana of Internet protocols behind a reader-friendly interface. And where they have no actual computer carnage to report, the authors recount the potential for mayhem in appropriately dropped-jaw style."
Business Week - Jim Taibi (08/11/1997)
