Subj : RIP Kevin Mitnick: Former most-wanted hacker dies at 59 To : Wilfred van Velzen From : August Abolins Date : Fri Jul 21 2023 20:34:00 Hello Wilfred! ** On Friday 21.07.23 - 15:52, Wilfred van Velzen wrote to All: WvV> * Originally in COFFEE_KLATSCH WvV> * Crossposted in CHAT [ likewise as above ] WvV> Hi All, WvV> Tributes paid to husband, father, son and rogue-turned-consultant WvV> https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/20/kevin_mitnick_obit/ I didn't realize there was a film about him based on the book Takedown. The book was fascinating. However, I seem to remember Mitnick claiming that not everything in the film was factual, and the book author gives too much credit to himself "capturing" Mitnick. The way I remember the story, Mitnick allowed himself to be found. -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.57 * Origin: Mobile? COFFEE_KLATSCH = https://tinyurl.com/y56r9f2o (2:221/1.58) .
