Fry Guy was more of a social engineer than a real hacker. Fry Guy got his alias interestingly enough, by acquiring the password to McDonalds' mainframe computers from a McDonalds' manager. Once he was in, he quickly increased the salaries of some of his friends who worked there.

Fry Guy then moved on to credit card scamming. He would request cash advances from Western Union with stolen credit card numbers. As a policy, Western Union would call the number on the credit card to double-check the identity of the caller. Fry Guy would re-route the calls to his phone - effectively making him the card owner. Most of this activity took place while he was a meager 16 years old.

On July 22, 1990 as his parents watched, Fry Guy was arrested by the Secret Service. On September 14, 1990 Fry Guy was sentenced to 400 hours community service and 44 months of probation. All in all, Fry Guy had made over $6,000 off of Western Union alone.

Fry Guy is also partly blamed for letting authorities and the phone companies know that there were hackers listening in on conversations, setting up their own phone numbers and accounts, and re-routing calls. He had actually called up the phone company threatening that the Legion of Doom would crash the phone system. Not surprisingly, this is what led to his arrest and later the war on the Legion of Doom.

Where some see hacking as the gaining of knowledge, Tabas used his knowledge for personal profit. He worked for a plastic card company that made blanks for credit card companies, and decided to liberate 1,350 of these for future sale. All was well until Steve Dahl agreed to take a reduced sentence in return for arranging a sting. Dahl was given an embossing machine and told to meet Tabas in a bugged hotel room. The rest is history.

Dave Buchwald (born September 4th 1970), also known by his handle Bill From RNOC, was the leader of the Legion of Doom in the mid-1980s and at his peak was considered one of the country's best social engineers. Due to his skill in hacking Bell and AT&T systems (of note being COSMOS, SCCS, and LMOS) he was highly respected and somewhat feared in the hacker community. He also served as a mentor to many other hackers during his time with LOD. Currently, he works as a film editor and freelance photographer in New York City with some of his work appearing as coverart for 2600 Magazine.

Levin is a biochemist from St Petersburg, is a cult figure of Russian cybercrime, and is considered to be one of the fathers of hacking in Russia.

Levin was delivered into U.S. custody in September 1997, and tried in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In his plea agreement he admitted to only one count of conspiracy to defraud and to stealing US$3.7 million.
