It's dated to somewhere in 1986 or so and that time german hacker group named Computer Chaos Club (and non members also) sold software to KGB. Some software was secret stuff but some of it was just GPL/PD software from public servers. KGB wasn't really happy about that.

AFAIK the "chaos computer club" (CCC) had nothing to do wth the so called "KGB-Hack". The CCC is still active in germany as a kind of representation of interests for computer programmers. it's not a cracking or hacking group... See www.ccc.de


What's the relation between the actual persons and events and the movie "23" that was based on them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.141.167.23 (talk) 13:11, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

AFAIK a "Fangschaltung" was set up (ie. phone calls into a hacked VAX at University of Bremen were traced by the telecommunication provider) and so the police could find out that Hess had dialed into the VAX from his phone (with an acoustic coppler). But the call trace had been installed without being approved by court, so probably lots of the gathered evidence was not allowed for the following case.
