Awkward, Google put out a blog in June about teenagers phoning up orgs and getting access to their databases by asking for access.. and yesterday updated it to say they also got owned by the same kids. https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/voice-phishing-data-extortion

I did something similar in 1993 with the local university. I, 13 years old, wanted to get on the nascent Internet, still the mostly the domain of universities and governments.

I called them up and asked for the dialup number, which they gave me.

I dialed into the terminal server, which dropped me to a shell with the MOTD β€œnow telnet to the VAX.”

But they didn’t limit where you could telnet to. So I just telnetted all over the net (talkers mostly) until I got caught.
