Mitnick Helps Bust Bomb Hoaxer

Posted by simoniker on from the you-go-girl dept.

PhrostyMcByte writes "According to The Register/SecurityFocus: 'Ex-hacker Kevin Mitnick is a hero to the small town of River Rouge, Michigan, after using his tech skills to help officials nab the culprit behind a harrowing series of bomb threats.'" According to the piece, Detective Lt. John Keck "began searching the Internet for technical guidance, which led him to Kevin Mitnick, who'd earlier demonstrated a technique for spoofing Caller ID on the specialty cable network TechTV." Mitnick's comment on the bomb hoaxer? "He wasn't really hacking... he was really just being a jerk."

    The world wanted to see him as evil... as nothing but a dumb cracker who had some skills to get into places he shouldn't be, no better than a hundred others out there who haven't been caught.

    This should make them eat crow.
