1989
Herbert Zinn Jr., better known by the webhandle “Shadow Hawk”, becomes the firstjuvenile to be convicted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 at the age of eighteen. Zinn, a high school dropout from Roger Park, Chicago, was sixteen years-old when he hacked into AT&T, Bell Labs, and Robins Air Force Base computer systems, where he destroyed an estimated US$174,000 worth of files and copied fifty-five programs worth millions of dollars. Zinn was only caught after employees of AT&T and Illinois Bell read messages in which Zinn bragged about his exploits and published passwords to the systems that he had compromised on a bulletin board system (BBS) notorious for its phreak community. In his comments, Shadow Hawk repeatedly boasted that he would “shut down AT&T’s public switched network.” Zinn will be sentenced to nine months in prison, two and a half years of federal probation, and a fine of ten thousand dollars on February 14th. Had he been an adult (age 18), he could have been sentenced to thirteen years in prison and a fine of up to US$800,000. One year later (January 22, 1990), Robert Tappan Morris will become the first person to be convicted as an adult under the law. Read more at Phrack magazine.
