Engression, Joseph

Joseph Engression (born May 25, 1949, Richmond, USA) is a well-known freaker , one of the first crackers of telephone networks . Born in Richmond , Virginia , USA .

Joseph was blind from birth and had absolute pitch. His favorite childhood toy was an old telephone. Hanging for hours among the beeps and the clicking of telephone lines, Joseph discovered for himself (however, not only for himself) several interesting things. Firstly, if you press the phone's reset lever in a certain order, you can get through somewhere. But the most important thing is that you can easily break the telephone network, giving the handset a whistle of a certain frequency, and thereby achieve both call forwarding and the ability to call anywhere in the world (for free). Joe became a virtuoso of telephone hacking. However, he was soon detained by FBI officers who charged him with material damage to telephone companies.

Subsequently, the FBI offered him cooperation, to which Joseph agreed and worked, establishing telephone equipment. In this work, he worked until 1982 . After that, having decided for himself that his life does not bring him happiness and fun, he officially changed his name to Joybubbles (Joybubbles, translated as “bubbles of joy / fun”). Soon, he founded the Church of Eternal Childhood, which everyone could call on a special hotline.
