Kevin Mitnick: The hacker extraordinaire speaks out on security in today's
Internet age
OVER THE LAST decade, Kevin Mitnick has worn many identities: cyberspace
cult icon, fugitive on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Most Wanted
list, former federal prisoner, and now a man trying to reinsert himself into
society.
Granted release last January after five years of time served at the Federal
Correctional Institute at Lompoc, Calif., Mitnick must wait at least two
more years before he can legally touch a computer keyboard, check e-mail, or
surf the Internet. That's part of the price Mitnick, one of the world's most
legendary hackers, must pay per his negotiated guilty plea on five felony
counts. Mitnick had faced 25 counts on federal charges that he committed
wire fraud and illegally removed computer files from Nokia and Sun
Microsystems. (Info World 12/1/00) Read the whole thing here:
