Mitnick Testifies on Telco's Security

Posted by michael on from the what-me-worry dept.

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.

    PROOF?

    Google search could find no news about this, so until you can come up with some proof of this you are a liar

    Amazing... since I recall this post showing up in another story about a week ago. He must die an awful lot.

    the problem with the movie "Double Jeopardy" is the fact that there was no double jeopardy involved

    Yes, but this isn't a problem with the movie, it's a problem with the main character's interpretation of the law.

    Nowwhere in the movie did you ever see a law enforcement official (judge, lawyer, or cop) claim that she wouldn't be jailed again for killing that guy.
