2600 Magazine Spring 1999
Dear 2600,
Thirdhorse gave the 800-745-0008 to change showtimes and other
managerial funtions. Changing showtimes will only work for the
Moviefone network and will not cause the theater to change its
schedule. However, it will cause people to be late for their movie
which will make not only Moviefone look bad but the theater will
have to do something to make amends with the customer. On a busy
opening night for a summer blockbuster this could cause quite
a problem.
What I would really be interested in knowing is if Thirdhorse
or anybody else for that matter has ever tried dialing directly
into the ATMs? Or what about monitoring the traffic between Moviefone
and it's ATMs? I am unable to experiment in this area due to my
being a white trash asshole without a computer or job to pay for
one.
There was a manager at a theater in New York who used a variation
of Thirdhorse's plan and was able to steal $104,000 in nine months.
Not really hacking, but interesting.
