There's a hacker ethic
out there
that says that all information
should be free.
Sort of a hacker communism,
if you will.
There is a subculture
of people who claim...
24 hours a day
working on a computer.
And they want to show
how smart they are.
The cyber thief
had removed valuable files.
The virus
then reproduced itself.
The entire planet
has access to the Internet.
The entire planet has access
to your computer system.
As telephone technology
gets easier...
A growing high-tech crime wave.
Telephone lines are...
With a hacker's
treasure trove of files...
They range from extortion
to industrial espionage
to blackmail
to just malicious behavior.
There are other hackers
eager to cause damage.
It's getting worse because
we're increasingly connected.
As the need increases to
try criminals through...
Cellular telephones
and fax machines.
The FBI is asking
phone companies
to prepare for the day when...
What point did you
first question
the ethical propriety
of what you were doing?
Once the FBI knocked at my door.
What's up, baby?
What's going on?
Sorry I'm late. I'm Lance.
I'm Alex.
This is Kevin.
Mitnick.
What's going on?
So, I heard a lot about
you boys, especially you, Kev.
Oh, yeah?
We've heard nothing about you.
Yeah.
Never heard of the Icebreaker?
That's me.
No.
I'm telling you I'm the sh*t.
Look, we have no doubt.
You set this up.
What do you want?
I thought we should talk
because I like to stay current.
We like staying informed.
I'm not hacking anymore.
- And neither are we.
- Yeah. Right.
I like to share information.
What do you got?
I got DMV access.
We got it.
I got cellphone tumbling.
Your cherry list is tired
old hacker bullshit.
And so are you.
Hey!
What do you guys know about SAS?
What's that?
Haven't heard of it, have you?
What is it?
A service Southern California
Telephone offers the FBI.
Can monitor any phone,
anytime, anywhere.
Would you be interested
in that service?
Yeah, if it wasn't
"Fantasia" bullshit.
It's insecure. It's dial-up.
It's impossible.
I got it, kid.
What do you got?
To go.
We'll be in touch.
Give you a call.
All right, another possibility
would be let it go.
You know what I mean?
This guy was weird.
This whole thing
reeks of entrapment.
Then there's something to
consider, which is we're older,
and we got jobs,
and you got a wife.
We're not just kids anymore.
This is where you always
get in trouble.
This is where
you cross the line.
We're on probation,
for Christ sakes.
The FBI's been looking
for a reason to nail you.
Don't give it to them, man.
Just walk away.
Why do you have to do this?
I just have to know.
Joe Fredy.
Hi, this is Joe Fredy.
Hi, this is Joe Fredy
down at the Wilshire office.
Hi, I'm Joe Fredy.
I just want to steal some stuff.
This is Joel.
It's Joe Fredy
at the Wilshire office.
I'm putting together
an inventory report,
and he wants it yesterday,
you know?
Bastards always do.
Yeah, they sure do.
What can I do for you, Joe?
I need some info on the SAS
system you got there.
SAS system?
What the hell is that?
You got me. I'm reading
it off the page here.
My guess is
it's probably a gray box,
maybe sort of the end of
the rack, near the bottom?
All right. Hold on a second.
I'll check.
- Got it.
- Great, great.
Yeah, it was where you guessed,
except on the top.
Well, nobody's perfect.
What's it say on it?
"SAS.
Switched Access Services. "
While you're at it, can you
give me the serial number?
Oh, yeah, the manufacturer name,
too, please.
Yeah?
Yeah, hi. I'm trying to get
This is Joe Fredy at
Southern California Telephone.
I was told you were the engineer
who designed the SAS system.
Yeah, I'm him.
I was sorry Netcorp
went out of business.
You guys produced good product.
Yeah, we thought so, too.
Till the company got liquidated.
Me and 200 other people
found ourselves
out on the street
and out of luck.
Aw, man, that sucks.
Anyway, I just wanted to
compliment you on your SAS work.
Really?
Yeah.
It's pretty good, isn't it?
Good?
It's beautiful.
It's obvious
you know your stuff.
I'd love to pick your brain
about the design
and application.
Yeah.
No problem. Sure.
Well, how about this?
I've got all the designs
and info on my hard drive.
Let me fax it to you.
And then I can answer
any question you got.
Hell, I'll send you
a copy on floppy.
- How does that sound?
- That'd be good.
Western Electric.
Statement balance.
Constant rate.
This is pretty
damn amazing, Alex.
FBI, L. A. P. D. ,
Justice Department.
You can listen to how
agents get their information.
Their names, badge numbers.
Who works what,
who reports to whom.
You could play Big Brother,
beat them at their own game.
Hey, Shelley.
Alex.
- Hey, baby.
- Hey.
So, what's next, dude?
Mike Leahy.
Tony Green in corporate.
How are you?
Just fine, Tony.
Yourself?
I'm doing okay. I'm in a bit
of a pickle right now.
I promised my boss I'd have
the phone numbers for the SAS,
but I got wrapped up
in meetings.
- You know the drill.
- Do I ever.
Listen, I need a favor.
I need to get those right away.
Don't sweat it.
I'll fax it right up.
Even better. I'm gonna have
someone pick them up.
- You sure?
- It's that important.
I'll get them ready.
Mike, how are you?
Joe Turner.
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to be rude.
But do you work for
Southern California Telephone?
No, no, I'm in sales at Calcom.
Just trying to close
a deal with Tony's office.
Do you know what this is?
Look, Mike, I'm just
doing Tony a favor.
I was heading to corporate.
He asked me
to pick up a package.
That's all I know.
Just have Tony send it back
through intercompany mail.
Will do.
Hi, Jane.
Jane, would you stick that
in the mail?
I'm late for a meeting.
Send it to Mike Leahy.
I owe you one.
Don't talk to your boyfriend.
I'm not talking to...
Can you hold on a second?
I don't know who that was.
Hey, boys.
Glad you called.
We brought some toys.
Yeah? Great. Love it.
Thanks.
We scanned the place.
It's clean.
Great. Yeah.
Of course it is.
Hey, I got the need to pee.
I'll be right back.
What a nice guy.
Yeah, what a tremendously
nice guy.
And really current.
He's the sh*t.
He's completely the sh*t.
Icebreaker is the sh*t.
Oh, all right.
Got a present for you.
Nice.
Let's see it.
I think you'll like this.
It's Christmas day.
Let's see it.
All right.
Whoo!
Where the f*** did you get this?
Where did you get this?
When you have something for us,
we'll have something for you.
We gots to go.
Oh, sh*t.
You told them about SAS?
How could you be so stupid?
The plan was I start a dialogue!
I did what I had to do.
You told me you could
deliver Mitnick,
but instead,
you tell him about SAS?
You know what that means?
Mitnick will now do anything
he can to get that system,
which means we have to shut
