Robert Schifreen (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert Schifreen was a UK-based computer hacker, magazine editor, and later became a computer security consultant. He was arrested in 1985 for hacking into a British Telecom computer and accessing the Telecom Gold emails of Prince Philip. Although first convicted he was acquitted on appeal, because contemporary law was inadequate to cover computer hacking. As there was no specific law against hacking at this time, he had been charged with forgery instead.
