Is this real?



I'm wondering the same thing. Wikipedia page isn't updated, I don't see any updates on https://www.mitnicksecurity.com/ or https://www.knowbe4.com/, and I can't find any other news mentions about this.

I also can't find mention of him having pancreatic cancer, but that's not necessarily a confirmation of anything. He certainly could have kept it private.



Yeah seems like it was something he kept hush hush.

Sad to hear the news :\


I'm asking the same, Wikipedia page is not updated and based on the note he died on Sunday...


As I write this, there's a pending edit, accepted for review, of Mitnick's death.

That seems to have been reverted pending a reliable source:

Edit: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kevin_Mitnick&old...>

Revert: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kevin_Mitnick&old...>

Wikipedians typically resolve such issues pretty quickly.
