"Y2k, all hype, all the time."

Ender & CNN

Mike Hudack
Editor-in-Chief

Mike Hudack, aka Ender Wiggin, editor of OSAll, was profiled on the Cable News Network beginning on Monday.  The entire profile will run on Saturday on CNN at 1:30pm eastern time. 

The story focuses on the fact that I´ve been actively recruited by the National Security Agency.  To find out more about it you´ll have to watch :-)

A segment of the story originally ran on CNN Headline News on Monday, repeating every half hour.  Subsequently it ran on CNN World Today at 10pm eastern.  It ran again on CNN´s morning show on Tuesday morning.

The idea behind the story is to make a positive impact on the media and public´s understanding of hackers.  It is meant to "break the hacker stereotype."  As a CNN anchor said, you "may remember the movie War Games.  Now the government is remaking the image of hackers."

I will be interviewed by FOX News on Wednsday night to air on Labor Day Weekend.  The focus of the FOX story will be similiar -- with a focus on breaking the hacker stereotype and emphasizing the positive side of hackers.  Likewise, I have been in discussions with an NBC channel for a similiar story.

I´ve previously been quoted or pictured in magazines such as US News & World Report and PC World on security subjects.  The US News article was likewise focused on changing the attitude about hackers.

Since the CNN story started running I´ve been swamped by hundreds of e-mails from everyone from venture capitalists to former NSA employees.  All have been very supportive, and I thank them very much.
