From Wikipedia: “He was the most prominent member of the high-profile hacker think tank the L0pht.”

That’s quite a generous take. There were plenty of excellent hackers in the 90s, but “L0pht” just seemed like the PR friendly one that could go on good morning America.

Can’t tell if this is real or just a 90s security person trying to stay relevant after being fired.

Whether or not it was high profile before they went on talk shows and before congress... it's definitely a high profile (historic) group now because they went on talk shows and before congress. :)

High profile doesn't mean best it just means high profile.
