South Pole 'cyberterrorist' hack wasn't the first
By Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus Aug 18 2004 4:00PM

It's a tale Tom Clancy might have written. From their lair in distant
Romania, shadowy cyber extortionists penetrate the computers controlling
the life support systems at a Antarctic research station, confronting
the 58 scientists and contractors wintering over at the remote post with
the sudden prospect of an icy death. After some twists and turns, the
researchers are saved in the fourth act by an international law
enforcement effort led by FBI agents wielding a controversial, but
misunderstood, federal surveillance law.
