Phreaked Out

January 28, 2009 at 11:18 am Leave a comment

Dan Morrell, a former senior editor at The Penn Stater who now freelances out of Boston, has a great story in the latest issue of Boston magazine. He delves into the “phreaker” underground, including some folks so skilled with a phone that they can create all sorts of mayhem—like breaking into FEMA’s voicemail or calling in a SWAT team against a stranger in another state. The story is called “Disconnected,” and it’s gripping.

—Chas Brua, contributing editor
