About this title:
- Page Length: 433 pages
- In this "intriguing, insightful and extremely educational" novel, the world's most famous hacker teaches you easy cloaking and counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data (Frank W. Abagnale).
- Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down.

I'm just glad my employer switched security training providers so I'm no longer subjected to videos of the ghost of Kevin Mitnick poorly explaining how hacks work.

This book is great, btw, lots of wild stories. Dude had a knack!
The book isn't even a good read and would feel completely irrelevant if you know anything about security. The only redeeming quality might be nostalgia for the olden days.
One could argue that it was bound to happen (Murphy's Law) and that anyone else could have caused serious damage.
