It didn't last long. Mitnick's password was quickly revoked, and a
few days later he received a letter in certified mail from the
ISSA's headquarters informing him that news of his acceptance was
greatly exaggerated. "The ISSA has determined that your past
behavior does not comply with the ISSA Code of Ethics, therefore we
cannot accept your application at this time," reads the unsigned
letter.

This is just a shot in the dark, but I'll betcha if we exposed all the
ISSA's members to the same level of scrutiny that Kevin's past has
received, there'd be a lot more of these letters sent out.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
