Слайд 3The 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 4In 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 6The current editor-in-chief of Wired was formerly known for rather
different activities. In 1983, when he too was only 17
years old, he made his first intrusions into different networks, resulting in a few run-ins with the US legal system.
Слайд 7He continued with his illegal activities until his arrest by
the FBI in April 1991. In 1994 he was sentenced
to four years in prison.
Слайд 9Lamo has certainly driven the highest number of network administrators
insane. From Microsoft to Yahoo!, going through Sun Microsystems, MacDonald's,
Cingular, AOL or even the New York Times, he is credited with all types of intrusions and corporate security system violations.
Слайд 10 He has bypassed protections with disconcerting simplicity: during a
broadcast of the NBC Nightly News, the host asked him
to prove his talents in front of the camera, and he responded by gaining access to the company's internal network in less than five minutes.
Слайд 11Today he is an expert in security and enjoys full
freedom of movement, after being under the surveillance of US
authorities for many years.
