More quotes by Kevin Mitnick
My primary goal of hacking was the intellectual curiosity, the seduction of adventure.
Kevin Mitnick
I could have evaded the FBI a lot longer if I had been able to control my passion for hacking.
Kevin Mitnick
The Americans are the most gullible, because they don't like to deny co-workers' requests.
Kevin Mitnick
The hacker mindset doesn't actually see what happens on the other side, to the victim.
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
I think it goes back to my high school days. In computer class, the first assignment was to write a program to print the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead, I wrote a program that would steal passwords of students. My teacher gave me an A.

Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded Apple Inc, which set the computing world on its ear with the Macintosh in 1984.

Social engineers veil themselves in a cloak of believability.
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
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
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
I get hired to hack into computers now and sometimes it's actually easier than it was years ago.
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
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.
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
But a lot of businesses out there don't see the return on investment, they look at it as a liability, and until they can understand that proactive security actually returns, gives them a return on investment, it's still a hard sell for people.
Kevin Mitnick
A hacker doesnt deliberately destroy data or profit from his activities.
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
Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before, it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill, and now hacking is big business.
