When Justin started playing back the recording of the modem tones through a setup that translated them into text on the computer screen, he realized that among all the other data was the sign-on credentials of some agency that was accessing California DMV records—credentials he and any other hacker could use to retrieve any information from the DMV. Incredible! I could just picture Justin’s jaw dropping. He probably couldn’t believe his good luck, and began using these credentials himself to run license plates and driver’s licenses.
