–Webhost and Mobile Carrier Drop Mitnick Due to Attacks on His Accounts
(August 19, 2009)
AT&T has informed Kevin Mitnick that it no longer wants him as a
customer; it seems that his status as a "celebrity hacker" makes his
account an inviting target for script kiddies and the cellular provider
no longer wants to direct its resources toward protecting his account
from attacks. AT&T made the decision to boot Mitnick after he hired
legal representation to complain that his private information was not
being adequately protected. Several weeks ago, Mitnick's webhost,
HostedHere.net, notified him that it was ending their business
relationship. The webhost described Mitnick as "a high profile target."
