Kevin Poulsen
Kevin Poulsen, also known as “Dark Dante,” gained his fifteen minutes
of fame by utilizing his intricate knowledge of telephone systems. At
one point, he hacked a radio station’s phone lines and fixed himself as
the winning caller, earning him a brand new Porsche. According to media,
he was called the “Hannibal Lecter of computer crime.” He then earned his way onto the FBI’s wanted list when he hacked into
federal systems and stole wiretap information. Funny enough, he was
later captured in a supermarket and sentenced to 51 months in prison, as
well paying $56,000 in restitution. Like Kevin Mitnick, Poulsen changed his ways after being released
from prison. He began working as a journalist and is now a senior editor
for Wired News. At one point, he even helped law enforcement to
identify 744 sex offenders on MySpace.
