    ((they)) say that they caught them: “The authorities found John R. MacDougall, formerly an operations engineer at the Central Florida Teleport uplink station. Since hacking was a relatively new crime, his punishment was ultimately minimal: he paid a $5,000 fine, was put on probation, and had his amateur radio license suspended for a year.” https://allthatsinteresting.com/max-headroom-incident
