Actually, the idea of hiring people such as author of Sasser worm is to get their brilliance minus the negative effects of them being unreliable. How will the company which hires such guys ensures that for instance he does not take away company's IP secrets, hack into company's network or hack into some other company's network using this company's resources? If these issues can be resolved and the person's brilliiance used, then certainly it would be a win-win situation for the company. The other issue is the PR angle. It would be an interesting question to answer: by hiring such a person, does the company increase its PR or diminish it? regards, Samir Kelekar Teknotrends Software http://www.teknotrends.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Georgi Guninski" <guninski () guninski com> To: "Vincent Archer" <var () deny-all com> Cc: <full-disclosure () lists netsys com> Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 1:14 AM Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Scandal: IT Security firm hires the author of Sasser worm
