WOW

The guy does wrong and now pulls the "I am the victim" roll. Sounds like he had no intention of letting AT&T know of this flaw in the system. Besides does AT&T not know where the problem is at this point?

I think there comes a point where we all know there is always going to be an exploit some where in every system. Choose to take the higher road and notify the need to knows; Then say goodbye. Or choose to use the exploit to your advantage, understand it is only a matter of time before you get caught and face justice.

It is kind of ironic that we get complaints and whining from a hacker that hackers are accessing his info. What goes around, comes around. Live with it Mitnick - you deserve whatever happens to you.

Thats hilarious. I bet the real issue here is that when this "hack" happened, ATT refused to contract with Mitnicks own security company to fix the holes in their network.

Why should he? He is just their customer, and as such has no obligation to. If it were me, I wouldn't let AT&T know of the flaw either... at least not until some sort of contract was in hand where they were offering up cash to me for that info.

Again, there's no obligation to. Mitnick is under no requirement to help AT&T shore up their apparently ineffective security.

Now, if I were in Mitnick's shoes, I'd probably have offered consulting services to AT&T for the sum of hundreds of thousands of dollars to find their vulnerabilities and let them know how to fix them. Why help for free when there's a profit to be made?

Trusting the Democrats to fix our economy and give us health care is like trusting the fox with keys to the henhouse, a brand new gas stove, and a pantry full of goodies for side dishes. In the end, all will be dead and nothing but lies will be told.

That was my guess as well. And rather than do the right thing and provide a modicum of subscriber security, the Deathstar simply decided to shoot the messenger. This is SOP for the company as it was twenty years ago before the world had Kevin Mitnick to demonstrate just how lax companies really are when it comes to security.

Yes it is ironic and in a karma sense he does deserve what happens to him. In reality though it shouldn't happen to anyone, whether they are a celebrity, criminal, or John Q. Public.
