Hackers Testifying at the United States Senate, May 19, 1998 (L0pht Heavy Industries)

C-SPAN footage of the L0pht hacker collective testifying before the US Senate Governmental Affairs Committee on May 19, 1998. The members discuss internet and computer security weaknesses. The uploader says the media remembered only the claim that they could take down the internet in 30 minutes.

Cited as a historical reference when HN discusses L0pht, Mudge or Joe Grand, rather than recommended as a watch.
