2600: The Hacker Quarterly

Given the increasing prevalence of cybercrime and related threats, this is a publication well worth being aware of.

It has been around for a long time, and hopefully it will continue to be published. It can be hard to find, but subscriptions are available.

It contains articles submitted by readers. Almost every issue has something quite interesting. In this issue (Autumn 2012) there are interesting articles about computers in prison (yes, prisoners DO have access to them), a cyberattack against a small bank, and some perils of using hotel wifi networks.

Even though the articles vary widely from issue to issue, one more or less constant factor is photographs of pay phones from around the world as well as a listing of hacker meetings!
