Most of the people I know who got busted back then were into telco systems so they ended up with a fine, usually around 1-2k.

I'm guessing the navy wasn't so kind :/

I used to work at British telecom with a guy who had been a phreak and got caught hacking Prestel - one day one of BT's security (SD Directorate) guys who had busted him bumped into him at work and was not pleased.

I also worked for the Systems administrator who was in charge of the machine in the Prince Philip hack.

They were real dicks for sure. Fortunately I was 15 and it was pre-9/11 (by about 7 months). I'm not so sure things would have gone as well for me today.
