Kevin Poulsen
Mr. Poulson is a former hacker turned technology journalist, focusing on computer security.
From Wikipedia:
"Poulsen has reinvented himself as a journalist since his release from prison, and sought to distance himself from his criminal past.
Poulsen served in a number of journalistic capacities at California-based security research firm SecurityFocus, where he began writing security and hacking news in early 2000.
Despite a late arrival to a market saturated with technology media, SecurityFocus News became a well-known name in the tech news world during Poulsen's tenure with the company and was acquired by Symantec.
His original investigative reporting was frequently picked up by the mainstream press. Poulsen left SecurityFocus in 2005 to freelance and pursue independent writing projects.
He became a senior editor for Wired News in June 2005, which hosts his recent (as of 2006) blog, 27BStroke6 which has since been renamed Threat Level."
