What evil things have you done in the past?

The hacker handle thread is pretty interesting. But what evil things has 
anyone done? I can tell you about a couple of mine...

Back in the BBS days, I ran The BoycoT BBS in southern california. There was 
this one user, named Fether. His real name was Jon Fether. He was a childish 
flamer. All he did was cause hate and discontent and bashed my BBS saying 
how it sucked and all my users sucked.  I banned him, deleted his account, 
but he kept calling back and re-registering using different user names.  I 
knew he had a GS so one day I took my merlin assembler and wrote a small 
program that set his text to black, his background & border to black, turned 
the sound off, set his boot port to slot 3.  I had a friend of mine upload 
the little gem to my BBS and say it was a cool new utility that did 
such-n-such. Then I sat back and waited for Fether to call. When other 
people called, I chatted with them and told them not to download the file. 
But when Fether called and did a new file scan, this little proggy showed 
up. He immediately downloaded it, posted another flame about how my BBS 
sucked, then logged off.

Nobody heard from him for about 3 weeks.  I thought maybe he was gone for 
good.  Evidently he didn't know about the 3-finger salute that would reset 
the GS back to factory defaults, or he didn't try. When he finally came 
back, he whined about how it just cost him $150 to have his GS repaired. He 
told everyone that he downloaded a file from my BBS that had a "virus" that 
"wiped out his motherboard".

That was worth laughing about for quite a while...
