hypnosec writes "Kevin Mitnick, who was one of the most wanted computer hacker in the US at one time, is now heading a security consultancy firm – Mitnick Security Consulting, and is entrusted with the task of securing Sunday's presidential elections in Ecuador. Mitnick tweeted, '18 years ago I was busted for hacking. I do the same thing today but with full authorization. How cool is that?' His company will focus on protecting the Net Lock computer system tasked with tabulating Ecuador's elections."

    The solution is clear: buy a gun.

    No, no, no.

    Mitnick problem is that he's a Homosexual. His interest in Ecuador is smooth skinned Ecuadorian rent boys with a cheap price tag. He'll most likely boff his way through the back rooms of a few gay nightclubs grab the money and slip out of the country before the Ecuadorians realize they have been "had". Literally.
