Long read, but well worth it if you like security / geek / exploit stuff...

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/anonymous-speaks-the-inside-story-of-the-hbgary-hack.ars/

Particularly like the 'social engineering' bit at the end!

Cheers, interesting read that Thumbs Up

I imagine Anonymous has destroyed the credibility of HBGary and quite rightly so. Incredible negligence on HBGary's part.

^This. I'm hoping that their clients have moved over to using other companies and their products, because now that the source for a lot of their work is available in the wild, it's not going to be worth jack.
Of course, relying on black-box products is never the best method of security, so I'm guessing that they won't.

It's like watching some guy stand under a hornet's nest, test-swinging a baseball bat and saying "OK, watch this!"

You know what comes next, and you know it won't end well. Thumbs Up
