In the past, not long ago, the year 1999 was a year full of dreams, hopes and nightmares of what will meet us all in 2000 and forward. Some said that all computers in the world would crash...mhm. Some even said that the world would be blowing into pieces and the humanmankind would be doomed.
Today 2008 only 1 day from 2009 it's 10 years since 1999 and as long as there have been phone lines, there have been people who have tried to turn them to their advantage. Click HERE if you dare to see the past of hacking and computer crimes.
