Kevin Mitnick Case and Book
Most of you have probably heard of Kevin Mitnick. He was portrayed as one of the most damaging cybercrime criminals. If you have not heard of Kevin, here is the Department of Justice post on Kevin's court case. The official Kevin Mitnick website has an alternative view of the case. Recently, Kevin's book, The Art of Deception was published. The first chapter of this book was heavily edited. Here's an interesting link to the unedited first chapter of Kevin's book. The link is off of Kevin's girlfriend's weblog site. The information was not supposed to have made it past Kevin's parole officer. Having read Takedown by Shimomura and Markoff, I found Kevin's perspective very interesting in that I had not expected there to be a pre-existing relationship between Shimomura, Markoff, and Mitnick.
