  • RIP Kevin Mitnick

    Kevin Mitnick, (in)famous teen hacker in the 90s who turned his fame into a career in cybersecurity, has died at 59 years old.

    He was suffering from pancreatic cancer for 14 months before his death, which makes me wonder if he wrote his own obituary. It is full of over-the-top praise that I find amusing.

    This wouldn't have even been on my radar if my workplace wasn't using his company for our cybersecurity training, which I've commented on in other posts on CS.
    Celebrate the life of Kevin Mitnick, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of King David Memorial Chapel & Cemetery.
    "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."
