Phrack, the infamous online magazine published by underground hackers, is shutting down.

The e-zine, notorious for publishing controversial security-themed articles on phreaking, reverse engineering, cryptography spying and electronics, ends a 20-year run with a hardcover edition scheduled for release at the end of July. ADVERTISEMENT
