Not so fast. Mitnick is incorrigible, but he doesn't try to profit from
his computer break-ins. He's the product of a poor, broken family, a "hacker
without a cause." By contrast, Shimomura is a conceited, privileged yuppie,
a cell phone glued to his ear, even on the ski slopes. He too lacks a social
conscience, having once worked on nuclear weapons design at Los Alamos (even
though his father was 15 kilometers outside Nagasaki when the bomb dropped),
and now working with the ethically-challenged National Security Agency. Then
there's John Markoff, reporting for the NYT, which invariably reads like a
supermarket tabloid whenever it mentions the Internet. In the end, Mitnick
is in the slammer again for a long time, thanks to the untiring efforts of
Shimomura and Markoff, who are now millionaires with book and movie deals.
Now find the cyberthieves, by identifying those who made out like bandits.
