Of all hackers I read about I decided to take Kevin Mitnick´s story, because he is one of the most famous hackers and the first hacker who got his face on FBI´ “Most Wanted” poster. I am going to write his “Life story” just based on what he hacked and when he started. Last I am going to see if people still knows who he is by books, movies ect.

Kevin Mitnick

Kevin Mitnick (born August 6, 1963) was the first hacker who got his face on FBI´ “Most Wanted” poster and is one of the most famous hackers to be jailed and convicted. Mitnick's last arrest was by the FBI on February 15, 1995 - he was charged with breaking into some of the United States' most secure computer systems.

Mitnick had previously been convicted in 1981 of destroying data over a computer network and with stealing operator's manuals from the telephone company.

In 1983 he was convicted of breaking into a Pentagon computer over the ARPANET from a USC campus terminal room. Several years later he went underground for more than a year after being accused of tampering with a TRW credit reference computer; an arrest warrant was issued, but it later vanished from police records without explanation. He was convicted of stealing software from the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) in December 1987.
