January 08, 2022 Da Chronic – Creator of AOHell and Automated Phishing
In 1995 Da Chronic released a program called ‘AO Hell’ that wreaked havoc on America Online. It allowed users to phish entire chat rooms, “punt” people offline, "mail bomb" user inboxes, and to scroll ASCII art in chat rooms. This lead to thousands of copycat programs and a new subculture within AOL. It inspired a generation of teenagers and twenty-somethings to learn how to program, decompile, and wreak havoc. Hear firsthand why Da Chronic unleashed this program on the world.
