Mitnick Banned From Security Group
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-02-13

By all accounts ex-hacker Kevin Mitnick created only a modest stir when he sauntered into the December meeting of the Los Angeles chapter of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA). He sat quietly, paid attention, and at the conclusion of the meeting joined with some of the other 60-odd attendees swapping business cards, chatting with fellow computer security workers and discussing his plans for his new consulting business, Defensive Thinking. "He wasn't flashy at all," recalls one chapter member, who didn't recognize Mitnick until the conclusion of the meeting. "He introduced himself as 'Kevin.'"

So typical of 'Security Proffesionals' a bunch of politics that wont allow for people trying to help them better themselves. They are so afraid of themselves that they cant see past their noses. Just like a local college who tried to ban a student because an instructor heard words like 'spoofing' and 'sniffing' come out of his mouth, they didnt ask him can you help us with security, they tried to ban him because ounce they knew about this 'very potential' hazard it was up to them to get rid of the student. There are people that bring to light problems and there are people that solve problems, I would hope that security proffesionals would be the latter of the two but obviously not. They just bring to light problems and when the crap hits the fan, look for some vendor to blame.
