Big time hacker gets hacked by small time hacker

Now he knows how it feels. You'd think that such a biiiiigg, expert hacker would know enough to protect himself from other hackers, heheheh.

Kevin Mitnik is not a "biig, expert hacker". Remember, he spent quite a few years in prison, without direct access to computers, so his skills are now obsolete. Besides, as he explains in the book he wrote, he mostly "hacked" by talking to people, not breaking programs.

Still, it's funny. It's like when someone who steals cars for a living and brags all the time about how he's one of the best ends up having his own car stolen.

Tooooo Funnnny!
That can't be good for business.

Well if you read the article, he laughs it off. Doesn't look like it's crushing his world or anything like that.

Heh, someone needs to think of a better password. :P

Actually, someone needs to think of a better webserver than IIS *cough*apache*cough*

He considers himself a "social engineer".

Heheheh, what a maroon.
