Kevin Mitnick: Hackers and Information Security
Kevin David Mitnick has been called
the poster boy of hacking.
His electronic exploits
are near-legendary
in the hacker community,
as well as among security personnel
around the world. The media has dubbed him
the Dark Side Hacker,
and tend to paint him
in an unflattering manner.
Some topics we are interested in looking @:
1.)Do people fear hackers, and is this fear warranted?
2.)Who are hackers and what do they do?
3.)How do the media portray hackers?
and
4.)What is theft of information?
