Кевін Мітнік помер. Легендарний хакер, культова персона в кіберспільноті.Described by The New York Times in 1995 as “the nation’s most wanted computer outlaw,” Mr. Mitnick was a fugitive for more than two years.He was sought for gaining illegal access to about 20,000 credit card numbers, including some belonging to Silicon Valley moguls; causing millions of dollars in damage to corporate computer operations; and stealing software used for maintaining the privacy of wireless calls and handling billing information.Ultimately, he was caught and spent five years in prison. Yet no evidence emerged that Mr. Mitnick used the files he had stolen for financial gain. He would later defend his activities as a high stakes but, in the end, harmless form of play....Mr. Mitnick’s most spectacular crimes were his attempts to evade capture by the authorities. In 1993, he gained control of phone systems in California that enabled him to wiretap the F.B.I. agents pursuing him and confuse their efforts to track him. At one point they raided what they thought was Mr. Mitnick’s home, only to find there a Middle Eastern immigrant watching TV.On another occasion, using a radio scanner and software, Mr. Mitnick discovered that F.B.I. agents were closing in on him. He fled his apartment, and when the authorities arrived, they found a box of doughnuts waiting for them.https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/20/technology/kevin-mitnick-dead-hacker.html
