Ask Kevin Mitnick

Posted by Roblimo on from the he's-as-free-as-a-bird-now dept.

Okay, Kevin Mitnick is getting back online and can start taking email tomorrow, January 21. We've spoken with Kevin by phone, and he agrees that a Slashdot interview is a fine way to help celebrate his return to the Internet, especially since he has a book to sell and a consulting business to build. (Don't forget: Kevin hasn't been able to make much money for a number of years, and has a lot of lost time to make up for.) One question per post, please. We'll email Kevin 10 of the highest-moderated questions, and post his answers shortly after he gets them to us.

    Those telnet sessions don't tell jack shit. It could be Shimomura posing as Kevin.

    Heck, I might just chime in with a question:

    Kevin, Has anyone ever shown you Jap-boy's takedown website? What did you think of it?

    Why do you suppose the Slashdot toadies blindly worship at your feet when you are clearly nothing more than a criminal convicted of a crime?

    Where the beef in this story? Sure beats me.

  4. Did you social engineer your publisher? by null+etc. · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Kevin,

    Was your recent book, "The Art of Deception," mainly an attempt to social engineer a book publisher? That book was such a POS, I'm curious as to how you got it published.

    BTW, now that you're out of jail, will you miss hearing the words, "Free Kevin?" Are you willing to go back to jail to hear them?
