It’s summer, there’s little going on, so it is the perfect pre-DEFCON promotional show for Kevin Mitnick.
I gotta give it to Kevin, he knows how to work the media with the whole “I was a hacker, I was abused by The Man when I was caught, now I’ve gone straight and trying to make a living.”
Kevin pops out once or twice a year, typically guaranteed to show up and sign autographs, plug his books, plug his security consulting biz, then goes back under the radar. Who needs to spend money on advertising?
