I recommend reading "The Cuckoo's Egg" for some pre-internet cyber-spy true crime fun.

Highly concur on "The Cuckoo's Egg." They even did a lighthearted docu-drama on it on PBS.

One quibble: This was in the era of the internet (that's what the interloper used), but before widespread introduction of the World Wide Web.

At the time, it was actually ARPANET, but the term ‘internet’ was already in circulation, and it was about to be used to connect to commercial services and to become the internet that we know today.

Quite true. I should have used "Web" over "Internet" in this case. The "Internet" had been publicly available to universities, corporations and essentially anyone that could afford a T1 connection at the time since the late 70s (and had nothing to do with Al Gore whatsoever).
