Boynton Beach, FL | Ugh... Not a big fan of AT&T Wireless, but most of this just stinks of a publicity stunt. I am sure he gets unwanted "attention", but I seriously doubt we're hearing all of the story.
As for the $2000 a month phone bill? Seriously? I hope that includes a lot of different cell phone accounts and some 3G wireless cards, otherwise I would be ashamed to admit publicly that I am paying that much for wireless service per month - even with international travel. I know this is a nitpick, but strangely $2000 per month for a year does not equal 20,000 as stated by the referenced article. Considering the accusations, I would think accurate facts would be useful. |

Charlotte, NC | If I read correctly he hit the company up for money first so they asked him to leave. Who knows he may have given the info out and then cried victim. |

Must be nice to be a former scumbag hacker who can now afford a $2000 month cell phone bill. Companies that use his services are idiots...sorry I don't buy this "Yesterday I was a hacker, today I can secure you network" crap and companies that do, don't come crying here when you're hacked!
Last thing I would want on my network is a former hacker securing it...wonder how many "just in case" backdoors he installs on his customer networks?!?!?! |

"Frank William Abagnale, Jr. (born April 27, 1948) is an American security consultant and former check confidence trickster, forger and impostor. He became notorious in the 1960s for passing bad checks worth about $2.5 million in 26 countries over the course of five years. During this time, he used at least eight aliases to cash bad checks.
Abagnale's life story provided the inspiration for the feature film Catch Me If You Can, based on his ghostwritten autobiography of the same name. He is currently a consultant and lecturer at the academy and field offices for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He also runs Abagnale & Associates, a financial fraud consultancy company."

To build a good defense, you need to know how the offense operates. Who better to know how hackers (Which really is a misnomer. "Hackers" refer to programmers, "crackers" are those who break into computer systems) think and operate than a former hacker.
Mitnick's best trick wasn't technology based at all. He was a master at social engineering. |
