Greetings everyone,

Those who're aware of Kevin Mitnick and his SEing skill set, will certainly appreciate this article. This Is a very recent Interview with Mitnick, so please take the time to read It's contents.

Quote:He was once the world's most-famous hacker. Eventually, he went to prison. But in a recent interview, Kevin Mitnick says his "favorite hack" was the time he took over the drive-thru at a local McDonald's.

Mitnick was 16 at the time. He was born in August 1963, so that puts this hack back sometime in 1979 or 1980--probably before your typical McDonald's customer or worker even imagined it was possible to hack into a drive-thru's system, and before the term "hacker" was even really used.

There's a multitude of hackers and to my knowledge, I'm not aware of any hacker being the most famous/wanted nowadays. Do correct me If I'm wrong, though.

I remember watching this video a couple of months ago. This just proves how good he is, I don't think there is a very famous hacked nowadays. There's a few of course, but probably not someone who's most famous.

He certainly was back then, and still Is nowadays as an ethical hacker running his own security firm.

Do take note that he has a 100% success rate In compromising any system/entity.

He's yet to fail on a company he Is paid to hack Into.

Bear In mind, he has a team working for him so they all operate as a unit.
