Back in the day some folks recorded customer voicemail from one of the larger Philly ISPs and deleted the user information and put it on the net in WAV files for all of us to hear.

Now, this is an example of something that goes far beyond what kez did. Way far beyond. Maybe even crossing the line! But it was a positive for the folks who did it, I think. They definitely had a team with more clues than any other ISP in the area.

A little bit of background, too; consider that this was during a time when nobody had any background in being an ISP. Nobody knew much at all about how to do it, and these guys were breaking new ground. The head of it was interviewed and pictured in Forbes ASAP. The team of people he had were smart and motivated and got the job done, from my perspective.
