Once upon a time, Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive cyber invader in history— coined by CNN, Fox News and other prestigious networks as, “The World’s Most Famous Hacker.”
The World’s Most Famous Hacker? That’s quite the title, but trust us, it was one well-earned.
As the most elusive computer break-in artist in history, Kevin’s legacy begins with an electronic joyride.
The legend (and the truth of it) is that Kevin once hacked into more than 40 of the world’s biggest companies and government organizations. However fast the authorities were, he was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems and cellular networks to elude capture.
Kevin’s creativity, skills and persistence forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, and all hackers. His story has been the catalyst for the entire cyber security industry, affecting the way both companies and people protect their most sensitive information since 1995. It’s even become a popular storyline for books, TV and movies.
