Wow: Today is the day that Mitnick is legally permitted to have full access to the online world again.
I remember I was at the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference in Chicago back in ’94, and the big excitement was that some of the law-enforcement folks at the conference thought an attendee was Mitnick and called in a raid.
He wasn’t (a fact recognized fairly quickly by the cops; the guy was released reasonably swiftly) but boy, was he popular for the rest of the conference…
Update: Another story from ComputerWorld, which points to KevinMitnick.com … geez, busy little Future Enterpriser, ain’t he?
