Forwarded from: Dan Verton <intel0202at_private> I think it is perfectly clear to all that the issue is not about two journalists fighting to get a story out on the street first. The real issue is something that eEye will have to deal with based on what the community at large has said publicly in the original stories that ran and in the hordes of copycat stories that are running now. And yes, eEye did have their supporters. And re: the personal tone of Mr. Maiffret's comments. Suffice to say, I was an ISSO and doing sysadmin on intelligence systems ten years ago. I understand Mr. Maiffret is relatively young. Dan --- InfoSec News <isnat_private> wrote: > Forwarded from: Marc Maiffret <marcat_private> > > Wow.
