The man who HACKED top company like Nokia and Motorola for fun


Kevin Mitnick was one of the most famous hackers ever, he only wanted to challenge breaking into systems and nothing else
Started at 12, figured out how to get free bus rides using punch cards, moved into phone hacking and impersonating workers to access systems
By his teens he was breaking into company networks and copying software, but got caught and went to prison in the late 80s
In the 90s he hacked companies like: Motorola, Nokia and Sun Microsystems. Used mostly social engineering by talking his way into access
He hacked them to prove he could and became a fugitive for years using fake identities and hacked phones
Got arrested again in 1995, spent years in prison and solitary and after release switched to security work
Helped companies fix the same weaknesses he exploited before
At the end he finally decided to use his intelligence for good and not bad anymore 💀
