Managed to track down a CBS news segment on hackers from August of 1985. It covered #hacking credit records via compromised TRW accounts, hackers on ARPANET, #hacker BBSes, a brief interview with Richard Sandza, a Newsweek journalist who was harassed by #hackers because of articles he wrote exposing aspects of the computer underground of 1984 and some brief interview segments with various anonymous hackers.
