Dan Huard (born May 23, 1979) is a computer enthusiast and American television personality who resides in San Francisco, California. Huard is best known for his work on the TechTV television program The Screen Savers, an hour-long technology-related variety show.

Huard attended California State University, Fullerton and graduated in the summer of 2003.

Huard started out working for TechTV and The Screen Savers in 2001 as an intern. He primarily helped Megan Morrone with her segments for the show as well as working behind the teleprompter. From there he worked his way into a position as a Production Assistant. Once becoming a Production Assistant, he was in charge of all the computer systems on the set of The Screen Savers. This also included most video and audio effects required during segments of the show. Huard also was in charge of screening phone calls for the live televised show.

On March 25, 2004, Comcast's G4 gaming channel announced a merger with TechTV. This move became hugely controversial among loyal fans of TechTV. Around May 6, G4 announced the termination of 250 employees from the San Francisco office by July 10, 2004, allowing approximately 80 to 100 employees to transition to G4's main office in Los Angeles, California if they agreed to relocate there. Huard chose to stay with G4 and moved to Los Angeles.

Kevin David Mitnick (born on August 6, 1963) is an American computer security consultant, author, and hacker. In the late 20th century, he was convicted of various computer and communications-related crimes. At the time of his arrest, he was the most-wanted computer criminal in the United States.

Mitnick grew up in Los Angeles and attended Monroe High School. He was enrolled at Pierce College and USC. He worked as a receptionist for Stephen S. Wise Temple for a while.

At age 12, Mitnick used social engineering to bypass the punchcard system used in the Los Angeles bus system. After a friendly bus driver told him where he could buy his own ticket punch, he could ride any bus in the greater LA area using unused transfer slips he found in the trash. Social engineering became his primary method of obtaining information, including user names and passwords and modem phone numbers.

Mitnick first gained unauthorized access to a computer network in 1979, at 16, when a friend gave him the phone number for the Ark, the computer system Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) used for developing their RSTS/E operating system software. He broke into DEC's computer network and copied their software, a crime he was charged with and convicted of in 1988. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Near the end of his supervised release, Mitnick hacked into Pacific Bell voice mail computers. After a warrant was issued for his arrest, Mitnick fled, becoming a fugitive for two and a half years.
