SlashDot: Kevin Mitnick:
- “In that same defamatory article, Mr. Markoff falsely claimed that I had wiretapped the FBI (I hadn’t), that I had broken into the computers at NORAD (which aren’t even connected to any network on the outside), and that I was a computer “vandal” despite the fact that I never intentionally damaged any data I’ve ever accessed.”
- “As described below, I was never accused of abusing a position of trust, profiting from any illegal activity, or intentionally destroying information or computer systems.”
- “I believe that former non-malicious (no intent to cause harm) hackers can be extremely valuable in helping businesses identify their weaknesses in technologies and procedures.”
To which I respond:
“A number of systems at the University of Rochester
were compromised during the Shimomura incident.
The compromises included deliberate destruction of
log files. So which is it:
- Deliberate destruction of log files doesn’t count as deliberate destruction according to KM?
- Somebody else did it?
- Oops, caught in a lie?”
