fake

Attention AO users:
the hack challenge from FreeAgent is false
do not attempt to hack the breakfree servers!

I recieved the following e-mail from breakfree:

Victor:

Thanks for emailing before doing such an activity. Please do not
perform
any sort of testing.
In response to the "contest", there is none. Any such contest is
totally
unauthorized.
Also: Be aware that there is no one by the name of James on the
BreakFree
staff.

Again, Thank you for emailing before commencing.

BreakFree Communications

I already did that, I'am waiting for their response.
I have also reported JP about this topic.
Breakfree is asking for all IP's , PM's , posts used by FreeAgent. They have contacted their lawyers to solve this problem. They ask to give all user info available for FreeAgent.

I hope this L@m£® ends up in court!

I hope I don't end up in court

Boo! Hiss! Not good at all. I have no talk on the company. However this is bad wrong. FreeAgent or whoever he is did a big no/no. He need's to go to alt.2600 or something.

Point being. It's stuff like this that gives us all a bad name in the infosec area.

It's hard to clean your own house when the dirt is pushing the broom.

I wonder how many AO members did actually try and hack into BreakFree Communications?

I mean really, how many people fell for this "contest"? Will you please let me know, cause I'm dying here, laughing my ass off.
Yes, and I am wondering when the feds are going to knock on ur door and put your asses behind bars....

"Please judge....don't put me in prison, I only hacked it cause somebody said it was a contest." I really didn't mean to hack into BreakFree and cause million dollar in damages, honest."

If I told you to hold up a bank and take all their money out of the vault and said to you it was to test out their new security system, would you go ahead and perform a "security audit?"


Do we really need to have post saying that this hack challenge is a hoax?

A piece of advice before this topic get's closed: BEFORE ENGAGING IN ANY WARGAME ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE OWNER TO CONFIRM THAT THERE IS AN ACTUAL WARGAME IN PROGRESS


I can't believe someone here would pull something like this.

FreeAgent JP, FreeAgent needs to be shown the door.
