news: K-L1NE COVERUP SCANDAL wizbone - 23/03/01 The WNN recieved reports earlier today which point to a scandalous coverup by The Clone, editor in chief of k-l1ne magazine, a 'zine' which covers articles about computer hacking, phone fraud, and security in many areas. The Clone aka Rebecca Fitzgerald is a member of the hacker organization named "HackCanada". The Clone also maintains several security-related websites such as nettwerked.net, and fonetrap.com. Up until the time this report was released, The Clone has always managed to keep himself respectable with a clean record, providing good information to all. Today it was uncovered that in the latest issue of k-l1ne 13, The Clone decided to use the exact ASCII art at the top of the articles which he used in the previous issue #12. Upon further investigation, WNN's own field investigator Wizbone uncovered some startling discoveries. The Clone had neglected to change the "12" to a "13", which wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact that upon notifying The Clone of his error, he immediately changed the ascii to reflect the intended number. "You can't just go changing released documents like this," said chairman of WNN, wizbone, "people have a right to know when a mistake has been made." The Clone declined comment to comment on the issue, though when confronted with the issue, he called WNN news correspondent Wizbone a "funny head" and proceeded to make funny ASCII emoticons. Before communication ended, he did say "happy sad". This leaves many asking, is Clone going off the deep end? At first glance, one would say undoubtedly, "no." However, upon glancing further, and squinting one's eyes, one might change their mind. It seems this isn't the first information coverup The Clone has faced. Back around fall 2000, The Clone posted a text file on his website which claimed to contain the frequencies needed for a device called a "Green Box". This device is alleged to allow one to recieve money from a payphone upon playing the tones into it. As it turns out, the tones contained within the file were no more than a simple tune, played by many popular answering machines while they advance their tapes to record a message. Upon discovering this through the help of HackCanada webmaster cyb0rg/asm, he promptly removed the file and to this day denies all previous existence of it. cyb0rg/asm was not available for comment though his secretary staff released a statement which noted that cyb0rg/asm was not involved with any part of the information coverup, he simply pointed out The Clone's error. So it seems The Clone has had a rather shady past as far as coverups and the hiding of information goes. This reporter would guess there may be other skeletons Clone keeps locked away from the world's eyes. WNN intends, as always, to expose the truth and will continue to do so. Rebecca Fitzgerald, the world is watching you a little closer now, the truth will come out.
