Narrator: Ray Porter
Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history.
He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies--and
however fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through
phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks.
He spent years skipping through cyberspace, always three steps ahead and
labeled unstoppable.
But for Kevin, hacking wasn't just about technological feats-it was an
old fashioned confidence game that required guile and deception to trick
the unwitting out of valuable information.
Driven by a powerful urge to accomplish the impossible, Mitnick bypassed
security systems and blazed into major organizations including Motorola,
Sun Microsystems, and Pacific Bell.
But as the FBI's net began to tighten, Kevin went on the run, engaging
in an increasingly sophisticated cat and mouse game that led through
false identities, a host of cities, plenty of close shaves, and an
ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him
down.
Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and
unbelievable escape, and a portrait of a visionary whose creativity,
skills, and persistence forced the authorities to rethink the way they
pursued him, inspiring ripples that brought permanent changes in the way
people and companies protect their most sensitive information.
