Ask Kevin Mitnick

Posted by Roblimo on Monday January 20, 2003 @05:00AM 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.

Do you think that you would still be hacking today if you didn't get caught? Do you view it as a good thing or a bad thing that you got caught and had to spend time in jail?
