   GERMAN DEFENCE SYSTEMS HIT BY SWEDISH HACKERS 
   - Swedish Students Practiced - 

      Swedish Students at the university have been trying to "get into" the 
    West German secret defence systems. But the students were not out to 
    get secret information, they were out to learn and play! 
    The young Swedes actions have been looked into by the Swedish and the 
    West German police together, as mentioned in the PROTOCOL 89 from  
    I.H.A. and now they are caught. During the last month of 1989, the  
    police managed to track them down to the university where they made the 
    calls from (use their own phones = had to pay the phonebills, right?!). 
    The students didn't manage to "get in", so it's probably not going 
    to be a matter for the court.  

      This shows how good the West German defence-computer systems security 
    is. They didn't manage to go that far into the system to find secret 
    information and at the same time, the German system registred enough 
    material on them to finally track them down. The Swedish police and  
    the German police co-operated (more on this in the PROTOCOL89.TXT file) 
    with the Swedish police "ekorotel". As early as before christmas the 
    Swedish police left their report to the West German police. Now they 
    are waiting for the West german police to make suggestions on what to 
    do. The back-story of this matter is found in the I.H.A. textfile 
    from the yearly meeting (PROTOCOL 89) so I will not go into this here. 

      It showed that during the practical ADB (Computer) - exercises there 
    had developed some kind of sport, to enter computer-systems and try 
    different computers security. Through testing how hard or easy it was 
    to "get in" they measured their own knowledge. It was soon stated that 
    this wasn't a question of illegal entries, but a lesson in computer 
    security. 

      "This case isn't anything that alarms us", says the Chief of the 
    Swedish Police, Rolf Nilsson. No crime was made in this case.
