So What I Was Essentially Doing Was,

Companies Spend Millions Of Dollars On Firewalls And Secure Access Devices, And It's Money Wasted Because None Of These Measures Address The Weakest Link In The Security Chain: The People Who Use, Administer And Operate Computer Systems

The Human. Now You Know All About Your Target

Garbage Can Provide Important Details For Hackers: Names, Telephone Numbers, A Company's Internal Jargon.

I Was Addicted To Hacking, More For The Intellectual Challenge, The Curiosity, The Seduction Of Adventure; Not For Stealing, Or Causing Damage Or Writing Computer Viruses.

Oracle, For Example, Has Even Hired People To Dumpster Dive For Information About Its Competitor, Microsoft. It's Not Even Illegal, Because Trash Isn't Covered By Data Secrecy Laws.
