KEVIN MITNICK: A MAN OF MANY HATS, NO MORE

- By Chandu Gopalakrishnan

When someone is branded “the most wanted cybercriminal in the world”, you do whatever you can to stay away from his vicinity, online or otherwise.

However, Kevin David Mitnick literally had the cybersecurity world eating out of his hand: the media, the industry, and anyone remotely associated with the cybersecurity industry.

So much so that the sector poured its heart out to mourn him when he passed away on July 16, 2023, at the age of 59. According to the funeral service, he was battling pancreatic cancer for over a year.
