War Driving, coined sometime after 2000, unclear exactly when.

The term was coined around April 2001, by Peter "Evil Pete" Shipley of the San Franscisco CA area. He's the guy that started the whole thing, in an attempt to alert people of the security problems with wireless. In several articles, he directly attributes "War Driving" as being derived from "War Dialing."

Hell yes, some of us old timers had demon dialers back in the Seventies.
Amongo, good story. Did you approach the paper, or did they find you?
