It was around 1982 that Condat joined the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance, an intelligence agency within the French National Police, who planted him in strategic positions, such as a sysop for CompuServe. In 1989, he, under instruction from the DST and agent Jean-Luc Delacour, created the Chaos Computer Club France, a fake hacker group posing as a national offshoot of the Chaos Computer Club, with the purpose of investigating and surveilling the French hacker community. The group would also work with the National Gendarmarie. The CCCF had an electronic magazine called Chaos Digest (ChaosD). Between 4 January 1993 and 5 August 1993, seventy-three issues were published (ISSN 1244-4901).
