Kevin Mitnick :
Kevin Mitnick was once known as the ‘World’s Most Wanted’ social engineer and computer hacker. One doesn’t acquire a title like that - nor an accompanying prison sentence - for vanilla exploits. While in Federal custody, authorities even placed Mitnick in solitary confinement;
reportedly , he was deemed so dangerous that if allowed access to a telephone he could start a nuclear war by just whistling into it.
From the 1970s up until his last arrest in 1995 Kevin Mitnick skillfully eluded and bypassed corporate security safeguards, penetrating some of the most well-guarded systems, including, amongst countless others, the likes of Sun Microsystems, Digital Equipment Corporation, Motorola, Netcom, and Nokia . He has even had to go on record and deny hacking into the Department of Defense’s North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and wiretapping the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
