a) he's not a hacker
Linus Torvalds is a hacker, Kevin Mitnick is cracker.
b) if you make computers for fools, fools end-up using them.
So, the credit for the security problems of having fools using computers should be given to microsoft and not those who scum on them.
c) he was tracked down by a pirate hunter and e-crime forensic specialist called Tsutomu Shimomura
If you need to read a book, read the books he read to get Mitnick.
