I don't get why Shimomura is listed on there? Surely getting owned by Mitnick disqualifies him?

I think getting the FBI to step in qualifies as "winning" in the as much as screaming for your mommy and having her scold the other boy qualifies as "winning" a schoolyard fight. The other guy suffers worse consequences - but you definitely do not get to be the coolest hacker of all time.

The article was just plain uninspired.
