Privacy issues closely relate to legal issues in those cases whence it
permits fraud and identity theft, and I consider those security breaches.

Mitnick ammased a large number of stolen creit card numbers, that was what
really earned him the most wanted cyber-criminal award in his time.  Even
though I do not recall a documented case whence he ever used any of those
numbers in a fraudulent manner.  It was the fear of his potential to
garner and use them and set people in fear...

Thanks,
