Summary: | For two years a computer hacker known only as the Phantom Dialler seized control of hundreds - perhaps thousands - of computer networks around the world. Frightened network administrators watched helplessly as the intruder methodically slipped into universities, corporations, banks and military facilities, including secret weapons-research sites. Working up to 20 hours a day, the hacker broke into one network after another, and no one knew who he was or what he was after. As the number of victims mounted, the FBI's computer-crime squad embarked on its first major investigation.
