Nice read

It's scary to think we don't even know whats plaging us.


To be frank I admire people like him, so called white hat hackers.
Without such people I think we'd be in for a lot more trouble+ they did a LOT of good over the years providing info on weak spots in OS's, router software etc.

+ Linux is partially made by hackers. Well not "real" hackers but people just added what they wanted and I'm sure white hat hackers contributed part of safty code/systems.

Something is fishy about this story. If it's true, they might as well put a bullet in his head. I mean come on, if I would do something like this, I would _really_ want to remain anonymous :D.

I have....my network at work has as well on a daily basis...I get the reports...we filter all IP's belonging to china...there's nothing that impotant there that we need to access it. A lot of the former soviet block countries are the same, we just block out ANYTHING that comes from those countries...sad but true..
