Jonathan Littman wrote in his book The Fugitive Game about a meeting that took place in early 1994, convened, he says, by prosecutor David Schindler and held at the FBI’s Los Angeles office. Attending were "embarrassed and alarmed" representatives from the major cell phone manufacturers I had hacked into. Not a single person wanted it known that their company had been the victim of a hack—not even in this roomful of other victims. Littman says Schindler told him, "I had to dole out aliases. This guy was from company A, this guy was from company B. They wouldn’t do it any other way."
