Today I finished reading the book title: The Watchman – The Twisted Life And Crimes Of Serial Hacker Kevin Poulsen. It was such a great book I finished it in just two days, and that’s pretty good for me since I don’t like to read for long periods of time.

It goes through the life of Kevin Poulsen, mug shot below (yes I know, a little creepy) :

Some of the incredibly fascinating things he did was activate deactivated Yellow Book escort telephone numbers for a local Pimp. This Pimp then payed Kevin every time one of his many bitches got a telephone call that ended up in the paid business of sexy time. Genius, eh?

Another thing discussed in the book is how Kevin could wiretap anyone in California, including the FBI and how he could see who the FBI was wiretapping, illegally, all the time, without warrants. Convenient.

I highly recommend this book, and if you are interested, here’s a link to it:
