There's a strange anxiety in Markoff's story, as though it
was planted on page one to exaggerate a threat to cyber law
and order. Reminds that his articles on Kevin were also
melodramatic, himself a player, privileged to join the
hunt. Maybe this is ambient hot material for his burbling
potboiler on Shimomura and Mitnick, honing an author's
creative edge, and artistic license, over that, ahem, of
the tranquil and capaciously befriended journalist's, pissed
that privileged news files were hacked, are hackable.
