THE UPL MENTIONED IN BIG IMPORTANT PLACES.

	STEAL THIS COMPUTER BOOK: WHAT THEY WON'T TELL YOU ABOUT THE INTERNET Written by Wallace Wang The United Phone Losers were referenced in all of the first three editions of Steal This Computer Book: What They Won't Tell You About the Internet by Wallace Wang (all three books are linked to on the left if you are looking for more info.. you can also buy them for almost nothing). We are mentioned along side the Phone Losers of America, the Phone Rangers (now defunct), and alt.phreaking/alt.2600.phreakz as authorities on phone phreaking. Go figure. Around 2006 (I believe), a newer edition, Steal This Computer Book 4.0 was released. Unfortunately, this was around the time that the United Phone Losers had temporarily gone defunct for a couple of years. As such, the 4th edition omits us. However, if you want to check out the new edition anyway (which is probably a good idea?), you can do so here: Steal This Computer Book 4.0: What They Won't Tell You About the Internet Pssst, Mr. Wang! If you are in the process of creating it, please include the UPL in Steal This Computer Book 5, or we will route all of your calls to Russia at your expense. We can do that. We hack phones. Here is some more information about the last edition that included the references to the United Phone Losers within its pages...

	CYBERSTALKING: HARASSMENT IN THE INTERNET AGE AND HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY Written by Paul Bocij In Cyberstalking, the United Phone Losers aren't painted as favorably as in Steal This Computer Book. Instead, we're presented as an example of what you should be protecting your children from. Shortly after publishing disparaging remarks about the UPL, the book's author was relentlessly harassed and eventually brutally murdered. His slaying is still a mystery to the case's investigators. Cyberstalking: Harassment in the Internet Age and How to Protect Your Family ISBN:     0275981185 (978-0275981181) Author:     Paul Bocij Publisher:     Praeger Publishers Pub.

Read the Article	THE BBS DOCUMENTARY LIBRARY ETYMOLOGY: WORDS: KRAD uknown author Note that the link to the left is to the DVD of BBS: The Documentary, not to the article on the DVD's website that mentions us. As far as I know (I haven't seen the DVD), we're not mentioned on the actual video. However, in their online library, the UPL is referenced as the great etymology experts we are, letting you know where the word krad came from. We were probably way wrong, but don't tell The BBS Documentary Library that, we don't wanna ruin any body's credibility. "Etymology: Words: Krad." The BBS Documentary Library. Lats modified 10 May 2006. BBS: The Documentary. Accessed 23 Jun 2008 <http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/library/ETYMOLOGY/WORDS/KRAD>.
Read the Article	CYBERPUNK HACKER PROOF Written by Joab Jackson In late 1999, we published an article in our ezine (Issue #26; Security Alert - "Secure Your Domain NOW!" Written by rbcp) detailing how to very easily hijack any internet domain name you wanted. Pick the domain, spoof a few emails, and you had it. By early 2000, Yahoo, CNN.com, Amazon.com, Buy.com, E*Trade, Datek, and RSA Security Inc had all been hijacked using our methodology. Luckily, Mr. Jackson didn't imply our involvement (and according to the UPL legal team, neither should I), but he did state how impressive he initially thought the "hack" was. He then went on to say he was mistaken, that it was not impressive, and pointed to us as an example of how truly unimpressive people would have been able to do the same thing. Jackson, Joab.
