Holy crap.... - Mitnick is.... free.

[FollowThisLogic]

Just happened to be watching The Screen Savers on TechTV.... and Kevin Mitnick is there. With Emmanuel Goldstein (editor of 2600) and Steve Wozniak. I didn't know this, but apparently today, he is allowed onto the internet, and he's doing so on this show.

Article on Yahoo...

Here's where he went during the show..

Yup, I read about it yesterday, I feel bad for the guy, they really fucked him over, he wasn't even allowed to give speeches about computer security and make somewhat of a living.

Fucking guy gets arrested for hacking, gets out and Woz gives him a kick-ass laptop?!?! What is this world coming to? (I'm jealous)

To spend 4 1/2 years in prison with no trial, then when you get out you're on probation and not allowed to touch a connected computer? Not only did the punishment not fit the crime, it was just an outlandish punishment to begin with. They were so afraid of this guy they wouldn't let him use a pay phone.

By the way, if you haven't seen Freedom Downtime, go see it. It's a documentary by Emmanual Goldstein about what happened to Mitnick. After you watch that, go check out Operation Takedown to see the bullshit spin that people can put on a story.

Hey, Kid.

And any thread with a TechTV mention requires us to sit and fawn over Morgan for awhile.

[LyricalGomez]

Isn't Hackers 2 also loosely based on Mitnick?

[Danked]

There was a Hackers 2?

[LyricalGomez]

I think it was Hackers 2, but it wasn't acctually a sequel to the original.

[HollywoodJewMoses]

i believe that operation takedown, is hackers 2

[Keyser Soze]

i'd fuck the snot out of her

[Danked]

YES!

[LyricalGomez]

i believe that operation takedown, is hackers 2

That's the one

[Kid Afrika]

I think the official title of Takedown was "Hackers2: Operation Takedown"... although it really had nothing to do with the cornball geekfest that is Hackers. And actually, after seeing the documentary, you will get a different appreciation for "...Takedown", as it really is a comedy of sorts.
