The hacking community has lost one of its greatest and most important members. The reason is the hacking legend, Kevin Mitnick, who passed away on Sunday at the age of just 59. SecNews is the only Greek media outlet that collaborated with the great Mitnick in the context of an exclusive interview he gave to our website in 2019.

The SecNews team warmly thanks Kevin Mitnick for this special moment he gave to the Greek audience and everything he shared with us – moments of his life taken from an action movie, funny hacking and secrets of the "profession".
His hacking work is admirable and a “school” for the younger generation of security experts. It is worth seeing everything he shared with SecNews in 2019 about his life, his first contact with hacking and his evolution, which have now established him as a legend in the field of information systems security.
It is worth noting that he had many supporters who said that his crimes did not cause any real harm and that his punishment was unnecessary. However, Kevin Mitnick became one of the most wanted men in America and was later imprisoned because judges deemed him a danger to national security.
In his interview, Kevin Mitnick addresses some of the most critical and important security issues and risks faced by companies and organizations both in Greece and globally, according to his many years of experience.
RIP Kevin
