1970s: Phone Phreaks and Cap'n Crunch

Phone hackers (phreaks) break into regional and international phone networks to make calls without having to pay for them. One phreak, John Draper (aka "Cap'n Crunch"), learns that a toy whistle given away inside Cap'n Crunch cereal generates a 2600–hertz signal, the same high–pitched tone that accesses AT&T's long-distance switching system.

Draper builds a "blue box" that, when used in conjunction with the whistle and sounded into a phone receiver, allows phreaks to make calls.

Shortly thereafter, Esquire magazine publishes "Secrets of the Little Blue Box" with instructions for making a blue box, and wire fraud in the United States escalates. Among the perpetrators: college kids Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, future founders of Apple Computer, who launch a home industry making and selling blue boxes.
