Since 2001 Phrack has been edited under the alias Phrackstaff.

In 2005, it was announced that ''Phrack'' was to come to an end, with the 63rd issue as its last. To commemorate ''Phrack'''s final appearance, the issue was to be a hardback edition, released simultaneously at the [[DEF CON]] and [[What the Hack]] conventions on July 29. An e-zine version of the release followed on August 1. The European printer for the hardcopies of ''Phrack'' to be distributed at Defcon refused to fulfil the order once they realized that they were printing a hacking book. Two [[University of Arizona]] students filled the gap and printed between 100 and 200 copies of ''Phrack'' 63 in time for release at Defcon 13. The copies of ''Phrack'' 63 distributed at Defcon 13 are each stamped with a "serial" number on the inside of the last page. It is believed that there are 100 numbered copies of ''Phrack'' 63 distributed at Defcon. All copies were hand cut and bound; unnumbered copies may be unreleased "extras", or may have cutting errors that meant they were deemed them unfit for distribution.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}
