Oh oh - Foundstone accused of stealing software, ideas, etc. Excerpt -------------------------------------------------- George Kurtz may be his own worst enemy. In just four years Kurtz, CEO of Foundstone, and Stuart McClure, its president, created one of the best-known U.S. computer-security companies by exposing the vulnerabilities of software firms. Thousands of FORTUNE 500 executives and government officials--from the FBI and the National Security Agency to the Army, the Federal Reserve, and even the White House--have taken Foundstone's Ultimate Hacking courses, at up to $4,000 per person. Motorola and Bank of America have shelled out more than $300,000 each for Foundstone products, and the company recently installed software to protect the FAA. But it doesn't take the skills of a hacker to see that Foundstone, a privately owned $20-million-a-year company in Mission Viejo, Calif., is in trouble. It has been accused of widespread software piracy by a leading industry trade group, FORTUNE has learned--charges corroborated by current and former Foundstone employees and by computer printouts obtained by the magazine.
