- 29athrowaway 3y agoThis is an John Markoff interview, the guy who wrote most of the made up stories about Mitnick. Some of those stories were published on the cover of the NYT. https://youtu.be/3zgLHEqIlJg?t=538 https://youtu.be/3zgLHEqIlJg?t=538 Markoff and Shimomura wrote a book about Mitnick and received $750,000 for their book rights and $650,000 for the film rights. The book was based on stuff that never happened. The movie is even more ridiculous. And then there is this HN post with 3000+ points that is full of people claiming that Kevin Mitnick was their childhood imaginary friend/hero/whatever: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36795173 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36795173
