Black ops: how HBGary wrote backdoors for the government

Fascinating article on the recent unmasking and collapse of the security firm HBGary..

On November 16, 2009, Greg Hoglund, a cofounder of computer security firm HBGary, sent an e-mail to two colleagues. The message came with an attachment, a Microsoft Word file called AL_QAEDA.doc, which had been further compressed and password protected for safety. Its contents were dangerous.

I can't help but smile over the entire thing. They go after Anonymous, and Anonymous basically hammers the b'jeez out of them.

It's one of several interesting articles at Ars Technica regarding HBGary. Next, I'd like to have an opinion piece about this. And then interviews with renown security experts, their take on this :)

What I have learned is that we must be very wary of astro turfing, if THEY are automating it already.

Every windows since Windows 95 have an NSA back-door put in. That is why the only secure way to use windows is on a virtual machine.

Then again 99% of the people in the USA have nothing to worry about the NSA, at least for now.
