In 1992, a man from the Federation imitated Japanese-style English on purpose and provoked a Japanese-descent geek with the taunt, "My Kung-Fu is the best!"
Of course, this was sent to the latter's mailbox via voice message.
The one who ridiculed was then the world's number one hacker.
The ridiculed geek was a long-haired man of Japanese descent. Three years before he was born, his father discovered the green fluorescent protein and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 for it.
Shimomura Tsutomu, the son of chemist Shimomura Osamu, was furious. He resolved to catch "the world's number one hacker," Kevin Mitnick.
Shimomura Tsutomu was a computer expert with the Federation's National Security Agency. He traced the hacker through the Federation's operators by official channels, and eventually found the real access point, narrowing the target down to a small area.
This was the most famous hacker showdown in history.
