[LUG] Robert Shifreen

 

Hearing Robert Shifreen on the radio this morning, talking about botnets,
stirred some memories. 1986, it was, the story about Shifreen and Gold
and the Duke's Prestel mailbox. He had a try at breaking the password and
began with '1234' which turned out to be right. Did Prestel apologise
for their choice of password? No.
