The 414s
Okay, technically this is not just one hacker, it’s several. One of many hacking groups to crop up during the 1980s, the 414s were a small team of pimply-faced teenagers and early twenty-somethings from Milwaukee who managed to hack into the networks of myriad large government facilities, banks, and other organizations. Targets included the likes of Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sloan Kettering, and Security Pacific National Bank—then one of the largest banks in California. Eventually, they would be paid a visit by the FBI and several members of the group would eventually face charges for making harassing phone calls.
