    Wow he wasn’t that old, damn, it was always fun when he showed up at The Screensavers.

    I never understood the bashing for being a “sellout”, he was a well known public figure in tech industry, I bet it was hard to find a decent job.

      It’s terribly sad when such great minds are taken relatively early from such horrible diseases.

      He seems like someone who always made the best of any situation. After a stint in prison, I’m sure he just wanted to keep doing his best, which led him towards things that weren’t as controversial. Either way, we all have plenty to learn from his works.

    Holy crap. I remember the “Free Mitnick!” campaign.

    Edit: Clearly @Hellsadvocate thinks Mitnick deserves what he got.

    I learnt of Kevin Mitnick from HN many years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to see him as the face of a company’s in-house security trainings. May he be at peace.

    Reminds me of being an edgy teenager and reading 2600 Magazine (that I got from the local Barnes & Noble lol). RIP
