Mitnick in Macedonia

Kevin Mitnick, the jet-setting, reformed-hacker-turned-Internet security consultant, received a VIP welcome in Macedonia where he was amused to stand in front of a billboard promoting his visit. The event was held at the Hotel Aleksander Palace in Skopje where Mitnick shared his expertise on the topics of his best-selling books, “The Art of Deception,” and “The Art of Intrusion.”

The billboard also advertises a bi-lingual web site created just to promote his visit. Check it out: http://mitnickmacedonia.mk. It’s impressive.

Regarding Kevin Mitnick, the site says, “He’ll reveal the hair-raising details of real-life computer break-ins, how the perpetrators hacked in and how they successfully covered their tracks. More importantly, Mr. Mitnick will share how you can prevent these same horror stories from being repeated in your organization.” Companies and organizations worldwide place a great value on Mitnick’s information.

The web site included a few testimonials of how much audiences love Kevin Mitnick.

“We were delighted to bring Kevin back for a second appearance at our annual event—and he did a great job! He had many interactive demonstrations to illustrate his speaking points and he put in the time, in advance, to ensure that they all worked perfectly on-site. His customized speech on PCI compliance was very relevant to our audience.”
