      Hackverbot hat er ohehin, jetzt soll Kevin Mitnick auch nicht mehr  
funken dürfen, weil seine Amateurlizenz nicht mehr erneuert wird. 
 
Die Story vom Funknetz der Taliban hat es immerhin bis zu einem  
Artikel in ZDnet France gebracht und ging auch über Declans Liste.

In a five-page order released Friday, the US Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) claims that 38-year old  
convicted hacker Kevin Mitnick is not morally fit to be a ham radio  
operator. 
 
"Mr. Mitnick's criminal background raises a substantial and  
material question of fact as to whether he possesses the requisite  
character qualifications to be and remain a commission licensee,"  
the FCC said. "Given his propensity to engage in criminal activities,  
particularly those involving fraud, we have serious reservations  
about Mr. Mitnick's ability to comply with our rules and regulations  
in the future." 
 
What's more, the FCC reminds us, "Mr. Mitnick's prolific and  
damaging hacking career made him the most wanted computer  
criminal in United States history." 
 
Mitnick was convicted of hacking-related felonies and was released  
from prison in January of 2001. He's still on probation until January  
2003. 
 
Mitnick's had a ham radio license for about 25 years, and he  
applied two years ago for what's normally a routine renewal. He's  
not accused of making any illicit radio transmissions or any  
offenses that fall under the FCC's jurisdiction -- it's just that official  
Washington firmly believes computer hacking must be an  
unforgivable venal sin. 
 
Under FCC regulations, Mitnick's loss of his license is probable,  
but not automatic. A hearing will be scheduled at some to-be- 
determined date before an FCC administrative law judge (who, no  
surprise, typically sides with the bureaucrats). Appeals go to the  
full commission and from there to the federal courts. 
 
"It's just another example of them trying to harass me," Mitnick  
said Friday evening. "Now I've got to spend money to keep a ham  
license. How ridiculous."
