Hackers are laughing

Cybertrust is a firm that was crying on CNET News about the police not taking Cybertrust seriously.

Now hackers are reading this article and not taking Cybertrust seriously.

You can't try and second guess hackers, and put a circle around hackers, and give them a stereo type.

Alot of the information Russ is saying is false.

Plus on a previous comment by me I had called for Cybertrusts's database of information to be made public, but they can't even do that.

Sure you may have intelligence you don't want the public to know, but you could at least share your list of "11,000" hacker aliases. I don't see how that kind of information would harm anyone.

I guess the reason is, your database is actually illegal if it was made public, and you would be sued heavily by the people you're suspecting of being a hacker.

See my first point again. The police don't take Cybertrust seriously, nor do hackers.

I guess your database will be 11,001 now.

n3td3v: If Cybertrust were the intelligence service they say they are, the worm would have never been released
n3td3v: lol
n3td3v: They wouldve been monitoring these guys before it ahppened
n3td3v: And then tipped off the cops
n3td3v: What they were planning
n3td3v: But yeah, obviously Cybertrust is hot air IMO
