- Kevin Mitnick
About this Quote
This quote by Kevin Mitnick is describing the mindset of a hacker. A hacker is somebody who utilizes their technical understanding to gain unauthorized access to computer system systems. The hacker mindset is focused on the technical obstacle of gaining access and does not consider the effects of their actions. They do not think of the potential harm they might cause to the victim, such as the loss of data, monetary loss, or perhaps identity theft. The hacker frame of mind is focused on the challenge of gaining access and does not consider the prospective effects of their actions. This quote is a reminder that hackers should understand the prospective repercussions of their actions and consider the influence on the victim. It is very important to bear in mind that hacking is a major criminal activity and can have severe repercussions for both the hacker and the victim.
