LAMO is a vagrant, traveling by bus from the East Coast to the West Coast and vice versa staying with friends or in hostels. LAMO utilizes the services of Kinko's to perform the majority of his hacking with his Toshiba laptop. LAMO is not employed, therefore when he performs his hacking he may spend hours at Kinko's. Each time LAMO commits a computer intrusion on a high profile organization he reports the vulnerability and intrusion to the media causing a distrust of the company’s clients. The above mentioned corporations have lost significant money and trust of their clients. ‘ On approximately August 22 2002, LAMO hacked into NBC and a telecommunications company while being taped by a reporter for NBC to be aired on NBC Nightly News.
