Their nameservers are also misconfigured and allow zone transfers... Looks like a pretty leet crew to me. Quoting Jason Wood <tadaka at gmail.com>:
I got a chuckle out of this line from the article. "*Drawbacks:* Talk about stress. If a system is infiltrated by a virus or hacker, it could mean lights out for the security consultant's career. "This is a job you can't afford to ever fail in," says Evans." What was funny to me was I remember a thread a while back where a lot of us talked about getting into infosec **because** we got hacked. I suppose I was just doing sysadmin work at the time, so you could point to that as a reason why I've never had much career trouble. Still, I had to grin at it.

I understand how this profile can portray us in a negative light as people who see *us* may think we were once on the black-hat side of things, but do you all think its impossible for someone to switch to the white-side? Although to be honest, no, I wouldn't trust him. Convicted in 2002, served 16 months means he was *probably* still in jail or just out when he started his company in 2003. And "...that year, computer security stores contracted to sell his cyber security software." So, in less than a year of getting out of prison, he has a company and "computer security stores" sold his software? WTF??? Ok, maybe I understand now...maybe it was just too early in the day.

I think it is nice that we have some job security... On the downside.... Why did they have to go and find "The Worlds #1 Hacker?" Now anyone that wants to get into this field thinks that all they need is a CISSP and to be an asshat. Wait..... That might be accurate.
