More quotes by Kevin Mitnick
I was addicted to hacking, more for the intellectual challenge, the curiosity, the seduction of adventure not for stealing, or causing damage or writing computer viruses.
Kevin Mitnick
My primary goal of hacking was the intellectual curiosity, the seduction of adventure.
Kevin Mitnick
I got so passionate about technology. Hacking to me was like a video game. It was about getting trophies. I just kept going on and on, despite all the trouble I was getting into, because I was hooked.
Kevin Mitnick
Oracle, for example, has even hired people to dumpster dive for information about its competitor, Microsoft. It's not even illegal, because trash isn't covered by data secrecy laws.
Kevin Mitnick
I believe in having each device secured and monitoring each device, rather than just monitoring holistically on the network, and then responding in short enough time for damage control.
Kevin Mitnick
Social engineering is using manipulation, influence and deception to get a person, a trusted insider within an organization, to comply with a request, and the request is usually to release information or to perform some sort of action item that benefits that attacker.
Kevin Mitnick
You can never protect yourself 100%. What you do is protect your self as much as possible and mitigate risk to an acceptable degree. You can never remove all risk.
Kevin Mitnick
My actions constituted pure hacking that resulted in relatively trivial expenses for the companies involved, despite the government's false claims.
Kevin Mitnick
The key to social engineering is influencing a person to do something that allows the hacker to gain access to information or your network.
Kevin Mitnick
My argument is not that I shouldn't have been punished, but that the punishment didn't fit the crime.
Kevin Mitnick
I use Mac. Not because it's more secure than everything else - because it is actually less secure than Windows - but I use it because it is still under the radar. People who write malicious code want the greatest return on their investment, so they target Windows systems. I still work with Windows in virtual machines.
Kevin Mitnick
For the average home-user, anti-virus software is a must.
Kevin Mitnick
Social engineers veil themselves in a cloak of believability.
Kevin Mitnick
It’s actually a smarter crime because imagine if you rob a bank, or you’re dealing drugs. If you get caught you’re going to spend a lot of time in custody. But with hacking, it’s much easier to commit the crime and the risk of punishment is slim to none.
Kevin Mitnick
The human. Now you know all about your target
Kevin Mitnick
All they need to do is to set up some website somewhere selling some bogus product at twenty percent of the normal market prices and people are going to be tricked into providing their credit card numbers.
Kevin Mitnick
I made stupid decisions as a kid, or as a young adult, but I'm trying to be now, I'm trying to take this lemon and make lemonade.
Kevin Mitnick
I trust online banking. You know why? Because if somebody hacks into my account and defrauds my credit card company, or my online bank account, guess who takes the loss? The bank, not me.
Kevin Mitnick
No way, no how did I break into NORAD. That's a complete myth. And I never attempted to access anything considered to be classified government systems.
Kevin Mitnick
New security loopholes are constantly popping up because of wireless networking. The cat-and-mouse game between hackers and system administrators is still in full swing.
