Hello Outriders!

On the podcast this week we have another in-depth interview. Once known as the world's most wanted hacker, has spent time in solitary confinement, on the run as a fugitive, been chased down via his mobile phone signal and now turned his skills into a successful security business.

Mitnick has been the subject of many news reports, documentaries and even a feature film; but now he is finally able to write his own version of events and has done so in the book "Ghost in the Wires: My Adventures as the World's Most Wanted Hacker".

It's a memoir that reads like a thriller that not only shows how little we knew about electronic infiltration in the 80's but also how the terms and activities of hackers have changed from the original pranksters in comparison with today's hacktivists.

You're probably not on the run from the FBI, but if you are up to something slightly less stressful online, as usual, I want to hear about it. Drop me a line and let me know what you have been up to or if there is something you would like to know more about.

You can email me at Outriders at bbc dot co dot uk, give me a nudge on Twitter at , or search for Outriders on to find our page there.
