Famed hacker Kevin Mitnick died on July 16, 2023 from pancreatic cancer. Kevin was just a few weeks short of his 60th birthday. I met Kevin at a book signing and at a hacker con. He was friendly, entertaining, and very helpful. Kevin Mitnick was very significant in publicizing--wittingly and unwittingly--many of the darker and ignored issues in the human side of cybersecurity.
