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.

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...
