Information About

Masters Of Deception




Masters of Deception ('''MOD''') were a New York -based Hacker group. As a result of their participation in the Great Hacker War , several of its members were indicted in 1992 in federal court. Five were convicted and sentenced to prison. The charges were related to a conflict between MOD and Legion Of Doom , another group of hackers.
Phiber Optik, founder of MOD, supposedly had a feud with Eric Bloodaxe, a member or the Legion of Doom. Phiber Optik founded Masters of Deception. The name itself was a mockery of LOD, as 'M' is one letter down in the alphabet from 'L'. From then on, the two hacking groups engaged in a massive hacking war which involved tapping phonelines and taking over networks.

The war continued through the early 90's until the police cracked down hard on both sides.
