Slashdot Mirror
Ask Kevin Mitnick
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.
He loves ... San Dimas!!
mstyne: real name, no gimmicks
He prob. had to do the same that everyone else is doing each time they are back from vaccation:-->
Delete spam. Tons of spam.

Yeah, did you ever lie about your crimes to the inmates to gain respect with them? I understand inmates generally don't like pedophiles and that "the system" punishes them pretty harshly. How do they like super elite hackers? You ever claim you killed a man?
I see it going something like this:
TechTV Host: Okay Kevin, here's your computer, you have the controls. You said you were thinking about browsing a few web sites?
Kevin: Yes. I think I'd like to try Yahoo.
Kevin: Ah. Here we go. Hmm. This is odd, it doesn't look like the screenshots I've seen in magazines...
Kevin displays shock and surprise.
Kevin: It looks like a hundred pages of CREDIT CARD NUMBERS! Hey, what's going on!?!
Cops bust through the doors, comedy ensues.
