[1971 Oct]
Esquire magazine publishes the article 'Secrets of the Little Blue Box' with instructions for making a blue box and wire fraud in the United States escalates. Among the perpetrators: college kids Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, future founders of Apple Computer, who launch a home industry making and selling blue boxes. |
I thought that one was pretty hilarious, myself. Way to go, pre-Apple!

Nice timeline. Think I still have some Phrack stuff stashed somewhere.
Surprised there was no mention of the Chaos Computer Club or Cult of the Dead Cow
