Kevin Mitnick Quotes

Computer hacking really results in financial losses and hassles. The objectives of terrorist groups are more serious. That is not to say that cyber groups can’t access a telephone switch in Manhattan on a day like 9/11, shut it down, and therefore cause more casualties Picture Quote #1

As a young boy, I was taught in high school that hacking was cool Picture Quote #1

I was pretty much the government’s poster boy for what I had done Picture Quote #1

Some people think technology has the answers Picture Quote #1

Should we fear hackers? Intention is at the heart of this discussion Picture Quote #1

We have problems with our physical security, operational security through to management Picture Quote #1

I saw myself as an electronic joy rider Picture Quote #1

There is no patch for stupidity Picture Quote #1

My primary goal of hacking was the intellectual curiosity, the seduction of adventure Picture Quote #1

A hacker doesnt deliberately destroy data or profit from his activities Picture Quote #1

Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls and secure access devices, and it’s money wasted because none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain: the people who use, administer and operate computer systems Picture Quote #1

Are hackers a threat? The degree of threat presented by any conduct, whether legal or illegal, depends on the actions and intent of the individual and the harm they cause Picture Quote #1

Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before, it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill, and now hacking is big business Picture Quote #1

I get hired to hack into computers now and sometimes it’s actually easier than it was years ago Picture Quote #1

I got so passionate about technology. Hacking to me was like a video game. It was about getting trophies. I just kept going on and on, despite all the trouble I was getting into, because I was hooked Picture Quote #1

Then again, my case was all about the misappropriation of source code because I wanted to become the best hacker in the world and I enjoyed beating the security mechanisms Picture Quote #1

My actions constituted pure hacking that resulted in relatively trivial expenses for the companies involved, despite the government’s false claims Picture Quote #1

The hacker mindset doesn’t actually see what happens on the other side, to the victim Picture Quote #1

All they need to do is to set up some website somewhere selling some bogus product at twenty percent of the normal market prices and people are going to be tricked into providing their credit card numbers Picture Quote #1

Any type of operating system that I wanted to be able to hack, I basically compromised the source code, copied it over to the university because I didn’t have enough space on my 200 megabyte hard drive Picture Quote #1

Back in my day, I would probe by hand. Now you can get commercial software that does the job for you Picture Quote #1

I made stupid decisions as a kid, or as a young adult, but I’m trying to be now, I’m trying to take this lemon and make lemonade Picture Quote #1

Security is always going to be a cat and mouse game because there’ll be people out there that are hunting for the zero day award, you have people that don’t have configuration management, don’t have vulnerability management, don’t have patch management Picture Quote #1

So what I was essentially doing was, I compromised the confidentiality of their proprietary software to advance my agenda of becoming the best at breaking through the lock Picture Quote #1

Garbage can provide important details for hackers: names, telephone numbers, a company’s internal jargon Picture Quote #1

A company can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on firewalls, intrusion detection systems and encryption and other security technologies, but if an attacker can call one trusted person within the company, and that person complies, and if the attacker gets in, then all that money spent on technology is essentially wasted Picture Quote #1

It’s actually a smarter crime because imagine if you rob a bank, or you’re dealing drugs. If you get caught you’re going to spend a lot of time in custody. But with hacking, it’s much easier to commit the crime and the risk of punishment is slim to none Picture Quote #1

My argument is not that I shouldn’t have been punished, but that the punishment didn’t fit the crime Picture Quote #1

I characterize myself as a retired hacker. I’m applying what I know to improve security at companies Picture Quote #1

I did get a huge endorphin rush when I was able to crack a system because it was like a video game Picture Quote #1
