Re: Re: IT Security firm hires the author of Sasser worm -just a thought-

[Frank de Wit <frankdewit () home nl>]

the best legal hackers (not me) came from 'the scene' and are still 
active there...
the smartest legal hackers team up with 'crackers' and learn the trics 
from them fast
(the shit is that the trics change every day  :-)
on the other hand, I would not hire a burglar to put new locks on my 
doors; he might just duplicate the keys
so if you hire a hacker/cracker/whatever, trust him (or her) just as far 
as you can throw him and (ab)use him to improve your security or product.
it's smart to hire a good hacker, but not smart to trust him
in the end it's so easy... just don't trust anyone
hojje!
