Re: Scandal: IT Security firm hires the author of Sasser worm

["morning_wood" <se_cur_ity () hotmail com>]

guess they shouldnt have publicized it. ( who cares )

@stake / Symantec - business is business, Symantec is aquiring not only
tools and expertise,
 but possibly more importantly a broader, richer client base. ( again, who
cares )

I do however find this interesting... the below "suggests" that a persons
and or persons affilliated
with a TROJAN coding history ( and a bad one at that ) is now ( or has
been ) working
with / for GFI.

look here:
http://s93625203.onlinehome.us/news.php

"we will see you on sub7.net...
in the not so distant future,
 for new tools...
in the mean time visit www.forcedcontrol.com
and www.gfi.com for blades LanGuard"

"fc.com  ( trojan ddos kiddie :ed) and its crew have finished to move onto
other
 professional projects." bla bla

conclusion:
blade ( a former? virus / trojan coder ) works for and is / was a major
player for GFI.
and now ( blade / GFI ) is possibly now recruting other known viri / trojan
coders?????
