By Bill Wall & Matty Angel - Timeline of Early Hacking (The later years only have some major events)

https://pastebin.com/sGFmf6Fj 1961.01.02     Caltech hackers (Fiendish Fourteen) hacked the stunt cards at the Rose Bowl (U of Wash vs Minnesota) to say CALTECH instead of WASHINGTON and show a beaver instead of a husky 1969.10.29	The Internet is born as the first ARPANET link was established on October 29, 1969, between the IMP at UCLA and the IMP at SRI. By December, the entire 4-node network was connected. 1971.00.00     John Draper (Cap'n Crunch) uses whistle (blue box) to access Ma Bell 1971.00.00	First e-mail program written by Ray Tomlinson 1972.05.00     John Draper arrested for phone fraud 1978.05.01     In May, the first known spam email was sent, to "several hundred" recipient 1979.00.00	Mitnick broke into his first computer network in 1979, when a friend gave him the phone number for the Ark, the computer system at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) used for developing their RSTS/E operating system software. 1980.10.00	Arpanet comes to a crashing halt thanks to the accidental distribution of a virus.

The transition is said to have went smoothly, although buttons were distributed saying 'I survived the TCP/IP transition.' Jon Postel documented the plan in RFC801, Dan Lynch of USC ISI handled much of the logistics (and went on to start Interop in 1988), and UCLA student David Smallberg documented the transition in 15 RFCs in the range of RFC 842 - RFC 876. 1983.06.23	Jon Postel and Paul Mockapetris of the University of Southern California run the first successful test of their automated domain name system, which allowed users to use human-readable names for machines instead of needing to use the machine's physical address. 1983.11.00     Fred Cohen creates the first virus at U of Southern California (Vax virus called VD); coined "computer virus" 1984.00.00     Kevin Poulsen (Dark Dante) arrested for breaking into the ARPAnet 1984.00.00     2600 hacker magazine begins regular publication by Emmanuel Goldstein (Eric Corley) 1984.00.00	William Gibson coins the term 'cyberspace' in the novel 'Neuromancer'.
