message: “Although Hess was active at the same time and in the same area as the German Chaos Computer Club, they do not seem to have been working together.” – this is highly confusing and needs clarification because it makes it sound as if the CCC was only active or did only exist at that particular time around Bremen. In reality, the CCC still exists, is (according to the Wikipedia article) one of the largest hacker clubs and isn't based at any particular location. Additionally, the club wasn't founded near Bremen (but rather in (West) Berlin), nor was it founded around the same time (but five years earlier).
So, what's the connection between this incident and the CCC? If there's none, why mention it? Could as well say “Although Hess was active at the same time and in the same area as the German national soccer league they do not seem to have been working together.”
:Well Cliff himself does mention them ("A guy in Toronto reported that his computer had been attacked by a group from Germany. They called themselves the Chaos Computer Club and seemed to be technocratic vandals." and "As an aside, Bob told me the German Chaos Club was attacking the U.S. Fermilab computer as well. I called Fermilab in Illinois and talked with their system manager. "Yes, some German hackers have been giving us headaches. They call themselves the Chaos Computer Club."").  Cliff also concluded what he was seeing was likely not them ("Still, it seemed like these guys were right. Those hackers were vandals who wanted to create trouble. They attacked universities and scientific institutes— easy pickings. They didn't seem interested in military targets, and didn't seem to know how to navigate the Milnet.")--BruceGrubb (talk) 20:02, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
