I shared with JSZ the details of my hack into Mark Lottor’s server and his interesting connection with Tsutomu Shimomura, using his nickname. I explained how I’d hacked into UCSD and sniffed the network until someone named "ariel" connected to Shimomura’s server, after which I was finally able to get in. "Shimmy somehow realized that one of the people who had access to his computer had been hacked, and he booted me off after several days," I said.
