Re: Finally said by major marco: Mitnick's only crime was breaking into unsecured servers and humiliating the "computer security" employees of deep pocketed corporations. You forgot theft (computer manuals) and possession of illegal equipment.
While he might have done the world a favor, he went about it the wrong way. |

| said by moonpuppy:You forgot theft (computer manuals) and possession of illegal equipment. I don't think dumpster diving and social engineering constitute theft. I was not aware one could illegally possess equipment purchased legally. There is a lot of communication gear for sale on ebay, I believe the gear Mitnick had was made illegal after he was kidnapped by the FBI.
If I am wrong please let me know. |

He "socially engineered" his way into a few companies and physically took manuals. |
