Intense School, a world renown certification mill,
best known for pumping the world full of CISSPs and
MCSEs that dont know their heads from thier asses, has
finally gone bust. The remants of the company were
purchased by a company Vigilar, who's motto is "why
spend money on good security consulting when you can
have cheap guys offshore in india do the work for half
price". Read the hilarious so called "press release"
about how vigilar "aquired" intense school! Haha:

Intense school is also known for issuing fraudlent
press releases claiming to be helping microsoft secure
code, and subsequently getting sued by microsoft. Also
known for teaching a "professional hacking" course
where you learn to do hack, which i guess includes
viewing webpages and the latest eleet skill of "port
scanning":

We can attribute the downfall of Intense school to a
decision by managment to kick out the only founder
that actually knew anything about how to run a company
and treat employees right, leaving behind a
debt-saddled CEO that needs to money launder from the
company in order to pay for his 2 wives and 5 million
dollar palace in ft. lauderdale. Cant wait till the
IRS audits him this year.
