Memorable Interview: Kevin Mitnick

"You can have the best computer set-up in the world but, if someone can convince a member of staff to let them in, all that is useless. The weakest link in any security chain is always human."

Memorable Interview: Kevin Mitnick
"Hacker" is a term of honour and respect. It is a term that describes a skill, not an activity, in the same way that "doctor" describes a skill. It was used for decades to describe talented computer enthusiasts, people whose skill at using computers to solve technical problems and puzzles was - and is - respected and admired by others possessing similar technical skills.
