This illustration from The Age, 7th of May, 1984.

Illustration is by John Spooner, an Australian journalist and illustrator who contributed cartoons and editorial illustrations to The Age newspaper for over 40 years.

The article that illustration was attached to also included this nifty graphic of recent computer crime related incidents, all of them cases of insiders with computer access abusing that access to steal money or data. Three of the cases were in Australia, one in France and one in the U.S.

We also get "COMPUTER CRIME SPEAK" compiled by Jill Baker, always funny from this era because it was often really antiquated terminology that was never really used or language that was used by confused journalists and was picked up by other confused journalists.

I’ll be honest, hearing SEO people complain about the state of Google now is like hearing an arsonist complain that they just can’t get the quality of kerosene they used to.

Israel just bombed the military intelligence headquarters in Damascus, so I guess records of war crimes and human rights abuses by Assad’s regime just went up in smoke.

From "Getting hooked on hacking", the The Financial Post, 31st of October, 1981.

Fascinating to see, from #FOIA docs, how agencies like the #FBI structure their paperwork for investigating #hacking. What details did they feel should be included or might be relevant, how did the forms develop over time? This example is from 2004. Always makes me wonder why they care about CPU

I forget where I screenshotted this little cartoon about U.S. surveillance state activities from but it seems very apt right now.

I need this setup for looking at newspaper archives online and old text files.

Umm this is not how the windows command line works 😤

Oh yes we have our new “you wouldn’t download a car”

Whoever hacked the Internet Archive is a real piece of shit.

After some online sleuthing I was able to track down a copy of "The Phine Art of Phone Phreaking", from LA Weekly magazine back in July of 1980. This article was essentially lost media on the clear web, as I demonstrate in the image below. I'll be adding what I have to @internetarchive later on.

Interesting #FOIA exemption from the #FBI here for records relating to the ILOVEYOU virus from back in 2005.

What the heck are they planning to get Onel de Guzman for next?

Admitting that you don’t already know all about or fully understand something is cool actually.
