Video - Meet Joybubbles: The Teenage Whistleblower Who Hacked Phones in the '70s!

Did you know that the world's first hacker was a teenage girl named "The Telephone Phreak"? In the 1970s, Joybubbles, born Joe Engressia, discovered he could whistle at a perfect pitch to manipulate phone systems—talk about hitting the right note! He'd make free long-distance calls just for fun. But wait, it gets weirder! He was blind and used his acute hearing to outsmart the phone companies. This led to the creation of the term "phreaking," a blend of "phone" and "freaking." So, next time you dial a number, remember the girl who whistled her way into hacking history!
