[originally posted to netcom.general] Kevin has asked me to publicize his urgent plea for funds. As I'm sure you all know, Kevin is not permitted telephone access to his account and is unable to get to his usual sources of money. Please join in giving to the Mitnick Legal Defense Fund. Over 20,000 fellow Netcom customers have already participated! To make a contribution, simply post your full name, credit card number, type, and expiration date to this newsgroup as a follow-up to this post. We'll take care of the rest. Thanks in advance, Kevin's mommy for The Mitnick Defense Team [Kevin Mitnick was recently arrested on charges of serious computer intrusion. Among the systems he cracked was Netcom, a San Jose commercial-access firm, and among the files he had was one with the credit card numbers of 20,000 Netcom subscribers. He is currently held without telephone access due to his past telephone-system phreaking, and is only allowed to speak to his mother and his lawyer; the guard must dial the call for him.]
