“I’m looking forward to getting on the first plane to the United States,” Mitnick, 42, said Wednesday from his hospital room in the Colombian capital, where he said he’d been laid up for about three days with a bad flu…
Mitnick blamed Bogota’s 8,700-foot (2,650-meter) elevation and a prescription drug he was taking for that trip to the hospital.
This time it was simply a nasty flu, accompanied by a fever reaching 40 degrees centigrade (104 degrees Fahrenheit), that prevented Mitnick from attending a big weekend hacker’s conference in New York.
“I tried to get to the airport to get to the plane to New York and just couldn’t make it,” he said.
What an intriguing story; a man with the flu. Well, it is freaking Kevin Mitnick. Anyway, I guess I’m glad he’s getting better as when I first began reading I wondered if he had died and felt a small sense of loss for it.
