Hackers received 134,000 German marks from the bank, repeatedly accessing its page on Btx. A few days later, hackers returned the money.Wow Holland was a brilliant orator, a man with a great sense of humor, standing in positions of openness and freedom of information exchange.
Holland was also a co-founder of the CCC hacker magazine, called Datenschleuder (The Data Slingshot: The Scientific Trade Journal for Data voyagers), in 1984. The magazine praised the possibilities of the global network and powerful computers. There, for example, detailed modem assembly schemes were published for themselves and cheaply. The then monopolist telephone company, Deutsche Bundespost, had to approve the modem models and was selling its own devices, slow and expensive. Now the privatized network of Deutsche Bundespost called Deutsche Telekom (Deutsche Telekom)A poem from the first issue of the magazine
Die hacker-hymne
Zu singen nach der Melodie: "Put another nickel in"
Put another password
Bomb it out and try again
Try to get past logging
We're hacking, hacking, hacking
Try his first wife's maiden name.
This is more than just a game.
It is the same
It's hacking, hacking, hacking.
Sys-call, let's try a sys-call.
Remember the great bug from v 3,
Or RSX, it's a here! Whoppee!
Du Hacker, Hacker, Hacker!
Put another sys-call in,
Run those passwords out and then,
Dial back up, we're logging in,
We're hacking, hacking, hacking!

Relationship with Wikileaks.
The fund has collected over $ 1.2 million for Wikileaks since October 2009, when they began to accept payments. On December 4, 2010, PayPal stopped donating because the organization was associated with Wikileaks. PAyPal referred to the fact that the account was used for “supporting, assisting, helping or instructing others to engage in illegal activities”.
On December 8, 2010, the foundation made a statement to the press that a lawsuit was filed against PayPal, for blocking an account and for defamation from PayPal of illegal activity.
Subsequently, for collecting donations for Wikileaks, the status of the organization as a charity was cut down and, later, canceled by the German authorities. Charity status was returned on December 12, 2012, as well as retroactively, for 2011 and 2012.
