His most infamous stunt? Rigging a radio contest to win a Porsche 944.&amp;nbsp; His curiosity and rebellious spirit eventually led him to hack FBI systems, making him a fugitive for over a year.&amp;nbsp; After a stint in federal prison (and a tragic three-year internet ban), Kevin turned his life around. He ended up becoming a respected journalist, cybersecurity advocate, and creator of SecureDrop—a platform for whistleblowers. His investigative reporting even exposed predators on MySpace and tackled digital privacy issues.&amp;nbsp; This episode is packed with humor, nostalgia, and lessons on transformation. If hackers can reform, so can your online habits.
