Mitnick Testifies on Telco's Security
Woefdram writes "Our favourite computer criminal (?) Kevin Mitnick testified in a case against Telco Sprint that their security was like Swiss cheese: full of holes. The story on SecurityFocus quotes Mitnick, saying, 'I had access to most, if not all, of the switches in Las Vegas,' and tells how he came up with a list of 100 challenge-response codes." We've written about this case before.
Never EVER testify like this, no matter WHAT the DA promises you. Shit Kevin, I thought you knew better?
*FREE KEVIN*
"their security was like Swiss cheese: delicious."
.sig is wrong, so what?)

After working for several Fortune infinity companies, I have come to the conclusion of my $5,000,000 granted study that anyone able to pick up a telephone is a susceptible hacker. It is about time the telco in every neighborhood started locking down their systems with finger-printing and place a mark on the wrist or hand of every telephone subscriber that he may not buy or sell anything over the phone without this mark. With further granted jurisdiction, the telco should be able to establish a real-time video and audio presence in the homes of each and every telco subscriber and relay this information across satelites so the whole world may be allowed to intrude on anyone's privacy in attempt to prevent people from worshipping anyone but the telco. Kevin Mitnick shall, upon appearance, be put to confinement in a maximum security stone cave, a rock rolled in front of it, and the cave sealed with wax so the telco will know whether the prison had been disturbed within any 3-day period. This is the only way people, and the telco shall have rights to your first post and first born. Anyone that has not lathered sheep's blood above their doorway shall have their building demolished by the telco. As of yesterday, the staff of slashdot.org and the users of the United Nations' oxygen on planet earth must comply or face harsh punnishment from internation agencies that don't like United States citizens. Thankyou for your time.
Sincerely,
Bob Grover

Wait here for a few minutes..

Here are the passwords for your central switches, I had them on file in one of my drop points down the street. Lucky me that it was still there.

Remember, Hackers are like boyscouts, they're always prepared.. they just prepare for alot more than preventing forest fires and walking old ladies across the road.
