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

Garbage can provide important details for hackers: names, telephone numbers, a company's internal jargon.

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.

I did get a huge endorphin rush when I was able to crack a system because it was like a video game.

Social engineers veil themselves in a cloak of believability.

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