Take an online computer defense course from Kevin Mitnick

Mitnick, of course, was the 1990s most famous computer hacker, considered so dangerous that in prison he wasn't allowed to use any computer, or even a telephone*.  Me, I think he had an excessive reputation, but there's no doubt that he's a smart security dude.

Now you can take a course from him for $39, via Groupon.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.  Probably you'd get value for your $40, though.

* Free Kevin!

His shtick was mainly social engineering, wasn't it? Still, there's some potential value in delving into that.
