Who the hell the most dangerous hackers in the history of the world? Here are five names that you have to recognize!
1. Kevin Mitnick
Kevin Mitnick’s hacking activities happened since the late '70s until '90s, before the modern era of internet. He began hacking at 13 years old, which allows him riding bus in many areas of Los Angeles. He then hacked a number of large companies’ network such as IBM, Nokia, and Motorola. No wonder he is one of the most wanted hackers in history.
But once he declared free from jail, Mitnick actually turned became a security consultant for FBI and other large enterprises. You can see a conception of Mitnick's new venture in his official website mitnicksecurity.com.
Because Mitnick had already repented, even turning into the enemy of hackers, do not do something stupid like asking him to help you to hack a website. You will only find yourself in a serious problem.
Mitnick is also quite influential; even character in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines game uses his name. Obviously, this vampire character named Mitnick is a hacker too.
2. Gary McKinnon
The next name in the list of the most dangerous hackers within this post is Gary McKinnon. His greatest achievement was so amazing, so it almost feels like it came from teen movies. To prove the existence of UFO, McKinnon hacked 97 US military networks throughout 2001-2002.
McKinnon seems not to find what he was looking for, but what he found that the network is too easily to hack. He even left a message commenting on how bad the US military networks security.
Coming from the UK, McKinnon should be extradited to the US to stand trial for his crimes. But
England refused the extradition, and ultimately did not judge this hacker.
As mentioned by the BBC, now McKinnon is undergoing legal business. He became a SEO consultant to help to increase the popularity of a website in search engines.
3. Robert Tappan Morris
If Morris opinion can be trusted, then the perpetrator of one of the worst attacks in the internet history committed a crime unintentionally. Robert Morris is the creator of the Morris worm, one of the world's first worms. Actually Morris was creating this worm to gauge the internet. It was not something impossible in 1988. But Morris the worm program is too wicked.
If following the first program, then the worm will not occupy the same computer more than once. But in fact, this worm can be piled up on one computer and make the process works so incredibly slow. In fifteen hours, this worm was able to infect two thousand computers, which was a large number in that era.
