- All I have is what a friend of mine heard from a professor at Tech.
- Here's what he said:
-
-
-
- There has been a major computer hacking bust involoving three Tech students
- operating out of Sneed Hall who were caught by federal agents abusing the Tech
- Vax system and esentially stealing software and sending it around the country.
- Apparently, these agents are monitoring all computer traffic in and out of TTU,
- looking for abuses. Amazing, isn't it that people would do such a thing?
- There have been big stories on the local news here every night for a week.
