August 16, 2019 - Randy Maniloff wrote about Kevin in the WSJ "Weekend Interview". It's a great article that covers his start as a teenage hacker, how he wound up in jail, and how he became a white hat after he came out.

They discuss phone phreaking, how he testified at a Senate Governmental Affairs Committee on computer security and had to get permission from his probation office to travel to Washington.

Then they cover ransomware payments, election hacking, social engineering, weak passwords, his role as KnowBe4's Chief Hacking Officer, and the need to step your employees through new-school security awareness training.

There is no better article to send to your C-suite to make them open the purse strings for your infosec budget!
