Unable to Attend HOPE: Famed Hacker, Kevin Mitnick, Felled by Flu

An AP newswire article by Frank Bajak, via ABC Technology News, reports that:

This Andean highlands capital [Bogota, Columbia] has twice felled famed hacker and security consultant Kevin Mitnick.

"I'm looking forward to getting on the first plane to the United States," Mitnick said Wednesday from his hospital room.

Mitnick, 42, said he has been laid up for some three days with a nasty flu, with a fever reaching 104 degrees.

On a separate visit back in May, the author of "The Art of Intrusion" and "The Art of Deception" said, he had spent a day in the hospital for tests after experiencing chest pains and elevated blood pressure.
