-----------------------------------

MCI Cracks Down
---------------

  Dr.  Crash busted for MCI scanning.  In the early part of December, Dr.
 Crash ran a scanner on MCI, MCI traced him and told him to stop,
 unfortunately Dr.  Hack, another 314er, started scanning the same port later
 that night.  MCI didn't trace it again and assumed it was Dr.  Crash back at
 work.	All of his files were hidden away but MCI and authorities confiscated
 his Atari computer and his phone.  MCI security told Dr.  Crash that he was
 part of an ongoing investigation.  Later that month he had a meeting with MCI
 security, where they questioned him about the incident.  His computer, they
 told him, will arrive in the mail soon.

 Extasyy Elite Disbanded
 -----------------------

  The following data has not been completely researched and may be considered
 as rumors.  Bit Blitz busted for phreaking, the organization and enforcement
 agencies are unknown.	However, $3000 worth of computer material (7
 computers) were confiscated.  Also it is reported that The Mentor informed on
 him.

  The Mentor was busted for breaking into his school to steal 29 computers.
 Also it has been said that Poltergeist is in the hospital with leukemia.  It
 is unknown if any other members were busted for any other reasons.  However,
 all former members are apparently safe now.

  The Bit Blitz and Crustaceo Mutoid are supposedly forming a new group called
 Rising Force and The Mentor is starting an elite hacking group.

  Much of this information has been supplied by former Extasyy member:

				Kleptic Wizard

 Legion of Doom Vs. Stronghold East Elite
 ----------------------------------------
  Somehow The Maelstrom found the secret LOD VMS in 305, and decided to post
 about it on Stronghold East.  Knight Lightning spoke with Compu-Phreak of the
 LOD, and he said that he told Slave Driver, co-sysop of Stronghold East, to
 remove all posts concerning the LOD VMS, and the LOD itself.  He also
 threatened that failure to do so would bring down the wrath of the 6 most
 active members of the LOD.

  When last looked at Stronghold East still had the information online.

  The LOD VMS has 96 megs online and store information in a way similar to
 laserdisc.

  All readers are encouraged NOT to call it as Compu-Phreak is getting pissed
 and you don't have the passwords anyway.

 Dartmouth Abandoned
 -------------------
  With the destruction of the 58107s 12-27-65 password to the Dartmouth
 system, it seems to have been abandoned by phreaks.  This is good because
 basically it only causes trouble.  Many users get impersonated on that system
 and false rumors are constantly being started.  The best way to have a
 conference is a tele-conference...start one today!
