this is an awesome story -some humor too Tongue   


http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.04/hacker_pr.html

"Thin and pale, Lamo has a delicate, androgynous face and a habit of hunching his shoulders as though to stay warm. He is one of the best-known hackers in the country, and was out being filmed for a documentary when the cops came looking for him at his parents' house in Sacramento. While cameras rolled, Lamo described his most famous hacks, a string of highly publicized computer intrusions - Microsoft, AOL, and Excite@Home - of which the Times was merely the most recent. Just months before the Times haq, he had made the papers by burrowing into WorldCom's intranet, where he found a database containing Social Security numbers, bank account data, and direct deposit instructions for some 86,000 WorldCom employees - plus a Web router maintenance tool that enabled him to go deep into the private networks of Bank of America, Citicorp, and JP Morgan.
