Cult of the Dead Cow: The Theatrical Hackers Who Coined ‘Hacktivism’

Coming Soon: The story of how teenagers from a Texas slaughterhouse became digital legends

Founded in 1984 in Lubbock, Texas at the Farm Pac slaughterhouse by Grandmaster Ratte’, Franken Gibe, and Sid Vicious, the Cult of the Dead Cow became one of the most influential hacker groups in history.

Key Contributions:

  • Coined the terms “31337” (elite) and “hacktivism” (1996)
  • Created HoHoCon - one of the first hacker conferences
  • Released Back Orifice in 1998, forcing Microsoft to take security seriously
  • Notable member: Beto O’Rourke (former congressman) was a teenage member
