MASTERS OF DECEPTIONS

Book - Masters of deceptions

Masters Of Deceptions (founded-1980's & extinction-1990's by Acid phreak  scorpion & HAC) was a group of hackers from New York most widely known in media for their exploits of telephone company infrastructure and later prosecution. 

MOD's initial membership grew from meetings on Loop-Around Test Lines that led to legendary collaborations to hack RBOC phone switches and the various minicomputers and mainframes used to administer the telephone network. They successfully remained underground using alternative handles to hide even their true hacker identities.

The Great Hacker War

The war is also known as Great Cyber war, conflicted between the two great gangs of Hacker known- MOD's and LOD's (legends of doom). some people says that it never happened, but the thing which is true is the Great cyber war helded and just shaked the cyber space. This war was conflicted between 1990's and 1991's.Each side attempted to hack the other's computers across Internet, and telephone networks and thus caused a huge loss to US.There is not much information available about the LOD's, but it is said that most of the members of this gang was early member of MOD, yes, they were friends but, lately they leaved MOD and formed LOD.i will talk about the great cyber war in upcoming articles .(if you have any additional information, please tell me in comments!)

The Fall of MOD

After the great cyber war, between MOD's and LOD's (legends of dooms) they were got caught in the vision of FBI/SSTF,

As a result of a major nationwide investigation by a joint FBI/Secret Service task force, five members of MOD's were indicted in 1992 in federal court. Within the next six months (in 1993), all five pleaded guilty and were sentenced to either probation or prison, And the gang disappeared.
