Kevin Mitnick was born in 1963 and has been a computer lover since his youth. He began engaging in hacking activities during his adolescence, when such acts were not considered a crime.
But in 1988, he faced justice after an old friend took him hostage. Kevin faced a serious penalty for his actions, but his sentence was limited to one year probation with a three-year probation.
Mitnick’s fame quickly spread thanks to The New York Times reporter, who colorfully talked about his adventures and described him as the main hacker of our time.
After that, Kevin disappeared for a while, but FBI agents started looking for him. But over the years he stopped being a hacker and became a well-known computer security consultant working for KnowBe4.
