Decades ago to crack into a computer you needed to be a hacker, since computers were all different. Today we have "script kiddies" who most definitely aren't hackers, but are crackers.
I don't think there's a script-kiddie equivalent for phone systems.

I thought the original hackers were almost exclusively using AT&T's system.
Considering that Ma Bell was a monopoly until 1984, I'd agree.
To paraphrase John Draper (aka Captain Crunch), "A system is a system, whether a phone network or a computer."
