ABSTRACT

Nahshon Even-Chaim, a.k.a. Phoenix, was brought into this life in May 1971. He has the grand honor of being the first computer hacker of significance to be convicted in the land of Australia. He was highly regarded by his colleagues in The Realm, a group of computer hackers located in Melbourne, Australia. His "reign of terror" ran from the late 1980s up until his arrest by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in 1990. Nahshon focused his malicious hacks on defense and nuclear weapons research networks. He was a computer science student at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. In April 1990, Nahshon's home in Melbourne, Australia was raided by the AFP and he was subsequently arrested. Concurrently, the AFP swooped in on the homes of Jones and Woodcock, his Realm colleagues. Nahshon had racked up 48 offences against his name and was charged with all 48.
