  • Roadkill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Who says Kevin Mitnick is the best?. His real talent is social engineering, not coding/pen-testing/exploit digging. Remember, he hasn't been able to touch a keyboard in many years..
  • mfarley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^agreed, flamebait.

    However, Mitnik was never on the FBI list as the article says, by Kevin's own admission it was the U.S. Marshall's Wanted list.
  • AmZa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"They should hire the 'Other Kevin'"
    You call Mitnick a script kiddie then say that Kevin Rose would be better than him. Oh god, this must be flaimbait so I won't bother.
  • Tweekster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Mitnick was a no talent script kiddie. credit card fraud is not an admirable trait

    They should hire the "Other Kevin"
