It all started in the early 1960s when telephone users found a specific frequency that allowed them to set the receivers in telephone booths to an operator mode, allowing them to make long-distance calls, free of charge. These people were called phreakers. Eventually, the phone hackers turned their attention to these new math machines. For a while before the internet was invented, hacking was limited to on-site missions that mostly involved sneaking into campuses and accessing student records, erasing bad grades, or worse, tampering with official financial records. As soon as the internet was introduced into the mix, hacking took on the traditional meaning we think of today, and continues to be part of society. As long as there are places most people shouldn't be, there will be hackers trying to hack them.
