LAS VEGAS — Two noted security professionals were targeted this week by hackers who broke into their web pages, stole personal data and posted it online on the eve of the Black Hat security conference.

Security researcher Dan Kaminsky and former hacker Kevin Mitnick were targeted because of their high profiles, and because the intruders consider the two notables to be posers who hype themselves and do little to increase security, according to a note the hackers posted in a file left on Kaminsky’s site.

I spent a couple of hours reading through the ZF0 zine at insecure.org.

Pretty wild stuff.

"There are people who just live press release by press release".. this sounds bad for Kevin Mitnick but it might be true, times are changing..:)

Do Mitnick, Kaminsky or Tinnes run these sites from home? I suspect the answer is no, they run them on remote web servers.

This story reflects badly on them only because of their poor taste of web hosts. It's not like they personally run insecure boxes.
