Ex-hacker Kevin Mitnick is a hero to the small town of River Rouge, Michigan, after using his tech skills to help officials nab the culprit behind a harrowing series of bomb threats.
Mitnick says he was happy to help. "It's a big deal over there in that little community, because apparently he was really wreaking havoc," says Mitnick, a security consultant and author of the book the Art of Deception.

    hahah best quote ever, for all the wannabe script kiddies and other dorks out there:

    "He wasn't really hacking. He was really just being a jerk." ;D

    Definitely being a jerk. After Columbine, bomb threats have become a big time pain in the arse for law enforcement. Any kid who wants attention has been calling them in record numbers. We just arrested four (students) that we tracked down so hopefully it'll slow down a little. Word spreads quickly.
