did this in 1974 without the Internet or modern software tools
Anyone doing anything with computers in 1974 did it without the internet or modern software tools. It seems to me it was an era where you were either a 'computer whizz' or else you didn't really get involved with computers.
Not saying its not impressive though, I think any programmers from that period who are still remembered now would be rated as 'very very good' by modern standards.
To me the report seems very vague as to whether the details were exposed by accident or as the result of an attack. Like, the organisation is trying to make it _sound_ like it was the result of an attack, but they seem to know very little about it so that makes me suspicious.
