From Phrack Volume Two, Issue 23, File 3 of 12; "Phortune 500: Phreakdom's Newest Organization February 16, 1987

For those of you who are in the least bit interested, Phortune 500 is a group of telecommunication hobbyists who's goal is to spread information as well as further their own knowledge in the world of telecommunications. This new group was formed by:

Brew Associates / Handsomest One / Lord Lawless / The Renegade Chemist / Quinton J. Miranda / Striker / The Mad Hacker / The Spiker

These eight members are also known as Board Of Directors (BOD). They don't claim to be Elite in the sense that they are they world's greatest hacker, but they ARE somewhat picky about their members. They prefer someone who knows a bit about everything and has talents exclusive to him/herself.

One of the projects that Phortune 500 has completed is an individual password AE type system. It's called TransPhor. It was written and created by Brew Associates. It has been Beta tested on The Undergraduate Lounge (Sysoped by Quinton J. Miranda). It is due to be released to the public throughout the next few months.

Phortune 500 has been in operation for about 4 months, and has released two newsletters of their own. The Phortune 500 Newsletter is quite like the "People" of contemporary magazines. While some magazines cover the deep technical aspects of the world in which we communicate, their newsletter tries to cover the lighter side while throwing in information that they feel is "of technical nature." The third issue is due to be released by the end of this month."
