Later Life
After his acquittal, Schifreen had to take a judicial review action against the police for the return of his computers. For some years, Schifreen was the editor of .EXE Magazine, a magazine for programmers. 'hex', his online name (shortened from the punning 'hex maniac'), was an active CIXen from the late 1980s, at a time when online communities were still a rare novelty.
Schifreen now lives in East Sussex working as an IT Security Trainer and Web Developer at Brighton University and runs an IT security consultancy. He regularly speaks at conferences and writes articles for the computer press and other publications. In 2006 John Wiley & Sons published his book, Defeating the Hacker.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Today we seek a moral basis for peace.... It cannot be a lasting peace if the fruit of it is oppression, or starvation, cruelty, or human life dominated by armed camps. It cannot be a sound peace if small nations must live in fear of powerful neighbors. It cannot be a moral peace if freedom from invasion is sold for tribute.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Our life without love is coke and ashes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
