Title: Mitnick at it again...
Post by: Peter Motyka on 2002-10-04T09:08:16-05:00 (Friday)
From the looks of a few headlines, Mitnick is selling his old laptop used in many hacking projects.  In addition he has a book coming out.  I was a bit disappointed to find out that the book is all fiction, but I guess that is one of his stipulations of his release.  He is not allowed to publish his story for 10 years... Bummer...

Anyway, here is a link to the full story (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=569&u=/nm/20021002/tc_nm/tech_hacker_mitnick_dc&printer=1).

Well, either way I'm going to be all over that book.  Not sure exactly when I'll get it, but I'll let anyone know how it turns out when I'm done.  :)

Yeah, one of the stipulations of his release was that he can't further profit from his life of crime.  Kinda a bummer in one respect- I'm sure we could all learn a lot based on his past history...
