Dear REAL Professionals, 

May I point out that "the no. 1 hacker" do not know how to use properly the only one language he mind know (kind of) 
English as well how to use computer. 
Only to highlight if "I want to encrypt all the information on my laptop so that KNOW ONE but me can access it ". That 
guy could write amazing love stories ;) Configuring something like servers are completely different story!

Pawel

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.

Hmmm...I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm not seeing why he's *is* a
fraud?? 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.

On the plus side.? 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.
