Article: Kevin Mitnick’s security tips
November 15, 2006
Wired published security tips by Kevin Mitnick. He was notorious in the 1990’s for exposing electronic security flaws committed by many businesses and was ultimately prosecuted for his actions. He attained cult status (“Free Kevin”) in the geek community and on his release from prison, was initially not allowed to use computers or access the Internet.
Mitnick’s actions raised awareness of security flaws and risks. Ironically, he now runs his own security consulting firm.
You’ve probably heard many of these security tips before, but he encourages more stringent steps than many of us probably take. It’s good advice. Definitely check it out.
