Column called "Click & Double Click" in the The Southeast Missourian, dated 5th of August 1997. Columnists Dennis & Darren talk #hacking, in particular cult of the dead cow and I spy a @dethveggie homepage. "These guys seem to proclaim themselves #hackers, but they appear to be selling out"

Fascinated by this story that got a lot of attention in July of 2003.

"The government and private technology experts warned Wednesday that hackers plan to attack thousands of Web sites Sunday in a loosely coordinated "contest" that could disrupt Internet traffic."

Lorry, 11 days ago to BBC

Listening to the #BBC #podcast #TheGatekeepers.

Ep.1 is about The Well and British Journalist #JamieBartlett claims that The Well was the world's first social network.

Before he was even born the Brits (and Europeans!) were running big, successful online social media sites and I think we mostly understood the potential consequences.

From an American? Fine - But come on BBC/Jamie! Do your research or get Tom Sandage to fact-check a little. Grr!

Hard to come to any conclusion other than “everything plus AI” is the last resort of companies without any real vision for future success grasping at straws. Basically handing money to AI hype merchants in the hopes it’ll lead to striking gold, a lot of time wasted sorting crap.

"There are still times it’s going to get it wrong, but I don’t think I would look at that and underestimate how useful it can be at the same time”

If you are retrieving information and the information is completely wrong, where is the usefulness?

I’ll never use AI to research, write or create anything I am working on for realhackhistory, if the video editing or writing is bad that’s all on me and I wouldn’t have it any other way 🫡

Filed an #FBI #FOIA about the group f0rpaxe today, after coming across this article from Observer-Reporter, back on June first of 1999.

I love a website defacement of government sites and threat to take down the entire internet, 1999 just hit different.

Please RT for reach: I’m trying to #FOIA records on computer intrusions into DOD systems during first Gulf War (1990), I have a GAO report which gives a high level summary but am looking for more.

Does anyone know what DOD department might have investigated #hacking back then?
