This guy really loves Porsche. He goes by the hacker handle Dark Dante and he earns his spot in the hacker pantheon for a radio station phone hack that wins him SHWAG including but not limited to a brand new Porsche. For some reason local law enforcement dubbed him “the Hannibal Lecter of computer crime.”

A phone phreaker at heart he still managed to sink his teeth and talons into Federal computer systems in search of wiretap information. Needless to say he gained the immediate attention of the FBI. He ended up on the show Unsolved Mysteries, soon after their 1-800 numbers crashed mysteriously.

Dark Donte was captured at a supermarket of all places. He is now a senior editor for Wired News.
