The most famous, and undoubtedly most gifted hacker
in history, made a name for himself in 1981
at the tender age of 17 by getting into a phone exchange, which allowed him to redirect subscriber calls in any way he wanted.
Слайд 4
In 1983, he achieved his first major coup
- and also his first arrest - when he
accessed a Pentagon computer. It was his repeated offenses that made him a target of the FBI. He was sentenced to five years in prison in the 1990s, but today he is a security consultant and owns his own company: Mitnick Security.
Слайд 6
The current editor-in-chief of Wired was formerly known
for rather different activities. In 1983, when he too

Слайд 7
He continued with his illegal activities until his
arrest by the FBI in April 1991. In 1994
he was sentenced to four years in prison.

Lamo has certainly driven the highest number of
network administrators insane. From Microsoft to Yahoo!, going through

Слайд 10
He has bypassed protections with disconcerting simplicity:
during a broadcast of the NBC Nightly News, the

Слайд 11
Today he is an expert in security and
enjoys full freedom of movement, after being under the
surveillance of US authorities for many years.
