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. \x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\x\ (c) By Swedish Hackers Association 1990 (c) By International Hackers Association 1990
