Phrack 72 released today. phrack.org/issues/72/1 It got me thinking. I first read Phrack back in the 90's as I started hanging out on IRC (maybe '93 or '94?), as I was learning about FreeBSD and later, Linux. It must have been Phrack 43-45 where I started. What a wild ride on the Internet.

At long last - Phrack 72 has been released online for your reading pleasure! Check it out: phrack.org

NEW: Two hackers broke into the computer of a hacker allegedly working for the North Korean spy group known as "Kimsuky." The hackers then leaked a treasure trove of stolen data, exposing a North Korean spy operation against South Korean targets. techcrunch.com/2025/08/12/h...

🧩 Page 40, Phrack PUZZLE clue #1: Many found that this decodes to "https://phrack.team-te...". The "???" is a placeholder. Think RegEx. Think (26*2)^3. GOOD LUCK! 🤞

Phrack across the years, and what we’re all about today! #phrack72 #phrackat40
