243.0. "Hacking the Israeli Foreign Minister" by NY1MM::SWEENEY (Pat Sweeney) Sat May 17 1986 02:50

    ref: Data Communications May 1986, p.64
    
    Israeli Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir's speech, prepared on a
    VAX 11/750 running ALL-IN-ONE was altered:
    
    "Let us say yes to a great, massive, successful, and victorious
    Herut movement" to "Let us say yes to a tiny, worrying, and incompetent
    Herut movement."
    
    The hacker was found and fired according to Data Communications.
    
    Perhaps we have an Israeli collegue who can tell us more.

If the culprit was found, then he/she wasn't a hacker.

He who hacks last, hacks longest.

243.3Semantically...BOVES::WALLNot The Dark KnightMon May 19 1986 19:506
    Hackers of this sort (and it requires a loose definition of hacker)
    turn into criminals once they are caught.
    
    Maybe they aren't hackers at all, just criminals to begin with
