Mitnick was 30 years ago. Things changed thereafter, and the patent is correct.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
- fastball 2y agoHe was charged 30 years ago, but consulted for many years after his release (only 25 years ago). So definitely his activities would be included in the last 20 years. Even if that wasn't the case, why should something that was OK 30 years ago be so crazy that we shouldn't do it now? Hint: no reason at all, "people would be horrified at X behavior Y years in the past" is and always was a poor argument, even when it's true (which again in this case it is clearly not).
- dialup_sounds 2y agoIs it really the same thing, though? What access to government IT systems did Mitnick have in his role consulting with the FBI? What qualifications does Corastine have to be a "senior advisor" at the State Department?
