I could have evaded the FBI a lot longer if I had been able to control my passion for hacking.

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.

Choosing a hard-to-guess, but easy-to-remember password is important!

I characterize myself as a retired hacker. I'm applying what I know to improve security at companies.

Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls and secure access devices, and it's money wasted because none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain: the people who use, administer and operate computer systems

Social engineers veil themselves in a cloak of believability.

A hacker doesnt deliberately destroy data or profit from his activities.
