RIP reformed hacker and security expert Kevin Mitnick 1963-2023.
20 years ago, Kevin joined the Screen Savers to get on the Internet for the first time since his conviction. We brought in some special guests to advise him.
@leo that’s way too young. RIP.
@leo RIP Kevin. I'm sure the FBI will try to prevent you from being buried with a telephone (just in case). Here's a stencil I made years (and years) ago.
@leo I watched this live as a young kid fascinated with technology. Sad day for sure.
@leo What a shame. Only 20 years of freedom. I imagine with his skills he made the most of it. Condolences to his friends and loved ones. May he Rest In Peace.
@leo Thanks for posting. Was watching that episode during the LAN party segment of Screen Savers. Will miss this guy!
Good times listening to his audiobook “Ghost …”.
