        A great book (and subsequent BBC TV series) telling the true
        story of Clifford Stoll, an astronomy professor at {UCB}'s
        {Lawrence Berkeley Lab}.  A 75-cent accounting error alerted
        him to the presence of an unauthorised user (a {cracker}) on
        his system.  The cracker, code named "Hunter", was breaking

        cash and cocaine, and reporting to the KGB.
