"ethical" hackers hacked

[hatter]

We hacked Dan’s assets first through finding bugs and writing 0day, and then through abusing him giving away passwords and his silly password scheme. Check out just some of his passes: ****.hackers, 0hn0z (root account on his mail box), f**k.omg, f**k.vps, ohhai

Five character root password? Niiiiiiice.

From .mysql_history:

SET PASSWORD FOR ‘root’@'localhost’ = PASSWORD(’f**k.mysql’);

and

“There are people who just live press release by press release,†the hackers wrote in their note. “And on top of it all, somehow you STILL have not got rid of Kevin Mitnick. The industry cares about virtualization one year and iPhones the next, every year forgetting the lessons it should have picked up in the last.

“If you are just someone looking to pay a fair price to not get owned, you find out quickly that none of these people exist to help you. Very few people in this industry have their income model based around actually making you more secure. At best, some of them have it based around convincing you that you are better off.â€
