Kevin Mitnick

A truly malicious person.

By contrast with a falsely malicious person?

By contrast with hyperbole.

With more than twenty years of experience in exploring computer security, Kevin Mitnick is a largely self-taught expert in exposing the vulnerabilities of complex operating systems and telecommunications devices, using both technical and non-technical means. In building this body of knowledge, Kevin gained unauthorized access to computer systems at some of the largest corporations on the planet and penetrated some of the most resilient computer systems ever developed. As retribution for his unauthorized access, Kevin served five years in a Federal correctional institution before being released in January 2000.

As the world's most famous hacker, Kevin has been the subject of countless news and magazine articles published throughout the world. He has made guest appearances on numerous television and radio programs, offering expert commentary on issues related to information security. In addition to appearing on local network news programs, he has made appearances on Court TV, Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, CNN's Burden of Proof, Street Sweep, Headline News, and Talkback Live, Canada AM, Marketplace, KFI 640, and National Public Radio. Kevin has also keynoted at numerous industry events most recently at Giga Information Group's Infrastructures for E-Business Conference, the Software Developers Expo 2000 Conference and the DEFCOM security conference. He has written for Time Magazine, Newsweek, U.K. Guardian, SecurityFocus.com, and 2600: The Hacker Quarterly.

On January 21 2003, Kevin was released from the conditions of supervised release which prohibited him from using a computer and from acting as consultant or advisor in computer-related matters.

Is this a long quote from somewhere?
