Kevin Mitnick Speaks in Toronto
World famous hacker Kevin Mitnick will be presenting in Toronto at the end of the month in association with Polar Bear Corporate Education Solutions. Kevin is most famous for evading the FBI and appearing on a Wanted poster, breaking into the Pentagon's computer system, subverting entire phone networks and much more. You can read his abridged bio here - fascinating stuff. His forte is Social Engineering. This involves misrepresenting yourself and psychologically manipulating an individual in order to obtain trade secrets, authentication information and passwords (or any other information a hacker can get his/her hands on). The event will be taking place at the Second City on March 29th and 30th.
