Hacked Chain Started In 1970:
In the 1970s, the world was primed and ready for hackers. For hackers, it
was all about exploring and figuring out how the wired world worked. This is the year
that hacking went from being a practical joke to serious business.
The first major hacking came in 1971, by a vietnam vet named John Draper. He figured out a way to make free phone calls. This was later called "Phreaking". Abbie Hoffman followed John Drapers lead with "The Youth International Party Line" newsletter. However, the only thing missing from the hacking world was a meeting area. So, in 1978 two guys from Chicago, Randy Seuss and Ward Christiansen, created the first personal computer bulletin board system. This system is still in operation even today.
