It looks like it was on a (non-google) server archive where somebody was manually saving chat archives. Who knows... they could have been forged or manipulated. The only way to know for sure would be to see the actual google server archive." So what's the point, Ghostrider, other than character assassination (or is that asinine-sasion)? Simply by highlighting what is at most dubious information, you present it as fact and leave the rest to now-public conjecture. What is your relation to the guy? Indeed, when were you fired...and for what? Even if your grudge-specific accusation had a smidgen of truth, exactly how many people sharing that name are in the US..or the world for that matter? If you goto: http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/namesearch.html one can get a pretty good idea how common the name is, and work the statistics yourself... Better yet, if I goto a search engine starting with Za...I find 5 different people with the same name, residing anywhere from beautiful Bakersfield, Ca to McCalla, Alabama (don't forget your Banjo, pig, and slobbering 'Tard, 'ya hear?). The odds seem to be...lacking, Ghostrider. What a nasty, spiteful and cheap way to air your grievance against someone -- one can only hope the groundwork you're laying doesn't come back to bite you, hard, when the Karma PoPo demand unfettered access inside 'yer head. Let's be honest here, perhaps a rare, seminal event for 'ya -- you're not performing research, you're trying to throw this guy under a bus, an inquisition by any other name -- and I'm calling you out. Ghostrider, the question to everyone's answer is usually found from within, and I hope the looking glass doesn't hurt too much when it's pointed your way some day. -BeenThere p.s. Have you seen what the average SCADA admin looks like? One guy in these parts looks like he could have walked off the AC/DC Tour Bus...and I must say, I can tell when he comes on shift 'cause the lights burn just a little brighter. <-----cut---org message below------> On Feb 17, 2008 10:28 AM, Ghost Rider <gh0str1d3r84 () gmail com> wrote: I was trying to do a little research on SCADA security and I noticed this one guy's name (Jonathan Pollet) kept coming up. It seems he is one of the leading experts and it also looks like he is a Vice President at Industrial Defender (www.industrialdefender.com). It looks like they are a leading SCADA security company. Well through my Google searching I also came across an interesting archived Google Talk chat with his name in it. I guess not only is this guy a leader in SCADA Security it seems he is into drug trafficking also (pasted below). These are the people protecting critical networks like power grids and nuclear plants!?!?!?!
