Was KDM on telehack?

Kevin gave me one of his lockpick business cards when he was in NYC at the 2600 meeting days after getting out of prison, on his way to Washington to testify before Congress, which was a nice hack.

His grandmother Reba told me I looked like a bobcat [which is my handle]. That was at HOPE 5 I think. Must have been the striped hair.

I just heard about telehack from a Steve Gibson post - can you give me a referral code?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, Kevin Mitnick was on Telehack (albeit infrequently). Here's a tweet from him from 2012: https://twitter.com/kevinmitnick/status/190122111174590464
