The New York Times Intrusion 4, In or about late February 2002, I read an article on website SecurityFocus.com dated February 26, 2002 and entitled “New York Times Internal Network Hacked” (the “Article”). The Article reported that ADRIAN LAMO, the defendant, had hacked into the New York Times‘ private intranet? (the “NYT Intranet”) and accessed, among other things, a database containing personal information (including home telephone numbers and Social Security numbers) for over 3,000 contributors to the New York Times’ Op-Ed page. The Article further stated that LAMO had altered that database by adding a record for ‘Adrian Lamo” along with such personal information as his cellular telephone number and email address, and listing his expertise as “computer hacking, national security, communications intelligence.” According to the Article, LAMO admitted to the author of the Article in the course of an interview that LAMO was responsible for the New York Times~ intrusion. LAMO also described in detail how he had gained access to the system through a proxy server?; and detailed additional conduct undertaken while inside the NYT Intranet. 5.
