Comments on: Black Hat says 'canceled' Apple talk never existed

A talk on vulnerabilities in the encryption within Apple FileVault was never submitted, according to officials of the security conference. But researcher Charles Edge begs to differ.

Based on this I'd never trust FileVault.

ROTFL! Gotta love the MSFT fanbois. How do you trust something you don't have, anyway?

Based on this I would never trust Apple period, company is going down hill with the more popularity they get.

[Thomas, David]

So, based upon the unproven, and conflicting comments, by someone who does not work for Apple, and Black Hat has no recollection of a submittal in their systems ... and the fact the person states that it does not matter whether he submitted a talk and withdrew it, or never submitted one at all (claiming these things are equal) ... Apple is at fault.

Whatever

Based on this, I would never trust Charles Edge, who apparently is the one who lied about claiming to be forced to cancel a talk that, turns out, never existed.

Reading the original article on the Washington Post, Charles Edge did not lie, he basically said "no comment."

Based on this, I would never trust large corporations or people looking for 15 minutes of fame.
Oh, and I'll remain skeptical of the rest of humanity as well.

[jameskatt]

Based on this, I would never trust rumor mongers and rumor blogs and anti-Apple pundits for twisting this story into a huge lie.

The moderator, not Apple, cancelled the panel discussion.
The researcher lied about having his talk pulled - there never was a talk.

The truth comes out.

Black Hat should face criminal charges for pretending something is going to happen when its not just to get free advertising in the media.

[The_Decider]

wow, perhaps you should face criminal charges from making assertions about inherently non-criminal matters.

You seem to have jealousy issues with people in the security community that are more famous than you.

If every organization said something and then decided not to follow through, everyone would be in jail at this time. And it seems there is still no official word whether Apple was to show up or not.

[usarioclave]

Based on this, I'll never use a computer again. I'm also getting more tinfoil for my body suit.

[onlyauser]

People should not care anyway. This is tha black hats playground in which the REAL work is hidden in the underground.

Caring or not caring has no effect on what these gifted people do. And what they will tell you publicly will surely lead anyone down a dark dead end alley that cares enough to listen.

The only real way you would ever have a clue is to be one of them.

[onlyauser]

Black hats are the best thing for the digital age and provide an valuable service without measure. Everything these people does really make it better for everyone in the long run. We NEED Black Hats.

Apple hater Brian Krebs of The Washington Post and his Apple hating black hat buddies (Maynor) are Microsofts' paid Anti-Apple operators in all things Black Hat.

[Vegaman_Dan]

How much are they paid for each article? Do you have their Microsoft contact? I would to verify your accusations. Please provide detailed evidence with dates, times, locations, and contacts. I will be eager to see your evidence.

Hearsay

[gisabun]

Zato_3: You really do need a life. Again you comment [reviously in Eweek's site] that everyone hates Apple and the Microsoft led establishment is against Apple. Get a grip. You are living in a fantasy world.

Let me guess. Windows XP SP3 wouldn't install properly. So you are on an anti-Microsoft crusade?
