Kevin Mitnick, a former hacker who became a top executive at Clearwater-based anti-phishing and cybersecurity firm KnowBe4, has died.
Mitnick died peacefully July 16 after battling pancreatic cancer for more than a year, his family says in a statement. He was 59.
After getting into trouble with the FBI for computer hacking and serving five years in federal prison, Mitnick was hired by KnowBe4 in late 2011.
