Takedown

Stealing information worth millions, Kevin Mitnick was more than just a hacker. He was the world's most wanted computer criminal, who had broken into secure computers and networks across America. On Christmas Day 1994 he broke into the on-line home of Tsutomo Shimomura, one of America's pre-eminent computer security experts - and then it got personal. This is the true story of the race to catch Mitnick: the story of an end-game played out across cyberspace by two extraordinary minds, and of a manhunt whose stakes were no less than the security of our daily lives.
