[ErrantX]

well we have no specific information on any of the problems (plus Im a little biased personally in that Mitnick seems to be in a habit of loudly crying foul no matter what - I do that sometimes because it gets results, takes one to know one)

It's been 9 years (we dont even know how much of it is AT&T vs. Mitnicks fault and what contact he has had with them): it's looking like an infinite battle to "secure" his identity. If there are crucial security flaws in their process then yes I am in agreement - but I doubt that is the case (because Mitnick would then be the least of their problems :)). Wash hands, move on.
