Oprano Security Chief Falls Ill
 

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -- This Andean highlands capital has twice felled famed hacker and security consultant Kevin Mitnick.

"I'm looking forward to getting on the first plane to the United States," Mitnick, 42, said Wednesday from his hospital room in the Colombian capital, where he said he'd been laid up for about three days with a bad flu.

On a separate visit back in May, the author of "The Art of Intrusion" and "The Art of Deception" said, he spent a day in the hospital for tests after experiencing chest pains and elevated blood pressure.

Mitnick blamed Bogota's 8,700-foot (2,650-meter) elevation and a prescription drug he was taking for that trip to the hospital.
This time it was simply a nasty flu, accompanied by a fever reaching 40 degrees centigrade (104 degrees Fahrenheit), that prevented Mitnick from attending a big weekend hacker's conference in New York.

"I tried to get to the airport to get to the plane to New York and just couldn't make it," he said.

Mitnick, in Colombia on consulting work for a client he would not name, said doctors had given him antibiotics, morphine and a penicillin shot in the rear end -- "which was the worst thing that ever happened to me."

Gonzo, you're bs'ing us that you know this guy right?

Re: Oprano Security Chief Falls Ill
 

Re: Oprano Security Chief Falls Ill
 

I remember the interview Gonzo did with Kevin when CJ couldn't hear so he had to relay the Q & A.

I know Confucy was mentioned a few times in that interview. CJ was defending her as I recall.

Re: Oprano Security Chief Falls Ill
 

Kevin's girlfriend used to post here quite often too, did she not? I'm sure it's all around somewhere.

Re: Oprano Security Chief Falls Ill
 

That link lead to a book cover.

Re: Oprano Security Chief Falls Ill
 

And inside the book is a dedication to Gonzo (and others).

Kevin is an honorary FFN.

Dont get your fingers too close to his plate when there's steak around.

Re: Oprano Security Chief Falls Ill
 

Gonzo, you and I have got to hang out one day. It's a small world. Mitnik is often a guest on Coast to Coast AM and I had lunch with George Noory a couple months ago!

Re: Oprano Security Chief Falls Ill

"Confucy is finally free?"

Re: Oprano Security Chief Falls Ill
 

Oh yah they have call in on Friday nights mainly but every night they take calls. Mitnik has been on alot. They just mentioned his illness tonight. Coast To Coast AM is damn near as large as Rush Limbaugh if not larger. 10pm-2am Pacific.
