Kevin Mitnick was truly legendary. I particularly respect the fact that he reportedly never stole a dime from anyone, and that he ultimately used his skills for good. His services helped protect many people including government entities from hacking attacks. The world lost a great man too soon.

I bet he was sent to hell so that people in heaven could still use their "Free Kevin Mitnick" signs.
