Harvard astronomer tracks West German spy ring in U S defense networks
Harvard astronomer Clifford Stoll says a 75 cent computing time anomaly led him to set a one man sting in 1986. He watched hackers access ARPANET OPTIMUS NASA JPL and Argonne systems, catching them copying sensitive military data back to Germany. He alerted the FBI who initially dismissed the risk but later showed interest as SDI Net revealed planted false data.
