Richard Pryce

Richard Pryce was a 16 year old hacker from the u.k. who cracked U.S. systems like the air force and the pentagon. He browsed some internet bulletin boards and picked up the right sniffer that he used to capture data from an authorized user. He then cracked into the systems and looked at non-classified but sensitive material. He was fined $1200 and said that he couldn't believe how easy it was to get in.
