The article was about the first automatic bank teller machines. Apparently an executive of Chase Manhattan did not trust the ATMs when he first heard about them. So he had one set up in either Caltech or MIT and offered a prize to the first student who could break into the machine. The student who did was from Berkeley; he stated he used the same methos he used in breaking into the BART system.
