Kevin Mitnick gets hacked

The world's best-known computer hacker suffered the indignity of having someone break into his new security consulting company's Web site. But Kevin Mitnick shrugged it off as "quite amusing," not serious enough for him to call the FBI. //

A hacker calling himself "BugBear" added one page to Mitnick's corporate Web site on January 30 with a message, "Welcome back to freedom, Mr. Kevin," and added that "it was fun and easy to break into your box." He included a photograph of a polar bear with two cubs. //

Another, similar break-in occurred Sunday by a hacker in Texas who asked Mitnick to hire him as the company's security officer. //

The FBI and Justice Department would not comment.

Heh, I can't really imagine him contacting FBI for that ... nor could I imagine anyone using his security services after if he did that. He's been passed... (maybe he shouldn't be using a windows server?) :p
 
Now the master has become the student.

Can hackers of yester-year even measure up to today's hackers? Kevin's hacking days, be it a far cry from obscurity, seem to me to be more of an over-reaction from the government then anything else.

I agree with you Giaguara, who is going to use his service if some hacker can gain access to his site.
 
Well, he started with the blue boxes.

Maybe I should as well send him (and somewhere else) the job application that way, it seems to be in ... >:-)
