Legion of Doom (LOD) was a prominent U.S. hacker and phone-phreak collective formed in 1984 by an individual using the handle Lex Luthor. Active primarily during the 1980s and early 1990s, LOD was associated with the dial-up bulletin-board underground and with Phrack. Its membership included figures known by handles such as The Mentor, Erik Bloodaxe, Prophet, Urvile, and Leftist; accounts also distinguish an Atlanta-associated contingent and a later “second generation” of the group. LOD members were linked to unauthorized access to telecommunications networks and digital telephone-switching environments, including the acquisition and dissemination of proprietary telephone-company material. Activities attributed to members included obtaining credentials and technical information through social engineering and discarded documentation, accessing telecommunications systems, manipulating telephone records and diagnostic capabilities, monitoring calls, and distributing technical information through bulletin boards and electronic publications. LOD became a major subject of U.S. Secret Service and federal investigations during the 1990 Hacker Crackdown, particularly investigations arising from unauthorized access to BellSouth systems and publication of an internal emergency-services document. The collective was also a rival of the New York-based Masters of Deception during the early-1990s “Great Hacker War.”
