On a personal note, a year or two before that happened Adrian helped my family recover our AOL/AIM accounts after they were compromised. Someone got control of the master account for all my family's AOL accounts, which we created back in ~1995. Because we hadn't been paying customers for over a decade, AOL was unresponsive to support requests. One of my acquaintances knew Adrian though, and got him in touch with me and my mom. Adrian still knew a bunch of people at AOL, and got them to restore access to our accounts and flagged them for an extra layer of security. I remember thanking him on the phone and him replying, "I strive to provide better service than the people I hack."

It was a fun story to tell until the news came out, at which point I stopped.
