The Bobby Fisher of Hackers

I'm sure people have already seen this article, but for those who haven't, this guy is really interesting, and reminds me of Bobby Fisher.

"Lamo, 22, doesn't have a permanent address. He wanders cross-country on foot or by public bus. Spring and summer usually bring him to Northern California. Until recently, he used terminals at Kinko's to perform his hacks. He has graduated to using a Wi-Fi-ready laptop at Starbucks to do his work."

V.Funny.

This just goes to show that most major companies just don't have a clue about security (both pc based and otherwise). This is where I get most of my money.
