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.'"

For or against Mitnick ?. I think the real issue is not so much Mitnick himself, but how we perceive Mitnick and ourselves. If we feel "better than" him we tend to take on a self-righteous mind set. If we identify with him we might put him on a pedestal. Only time will tell Mitnick's real motives, and that of the ISSA group. The one sad point for me is, that many groups are indeed a "closed shop", and will suffer ignorance for their closed universe mind set.
