SecurityFuckedUs -- Ryan Russel Has Been Dismissed By: Brian Mc Schiffman On August 15th the current internet infrastructure was hit with a huge tremor. At the epicenter of this earthquake was the news that Ryan Russel, also known as The Blue Boar, was fired from securityfocus.com. There are multiple reasons for Ryan's dismissal from securityfocus. On August 2nd during a fine day at the hacker festival known as defcon, a group of internet thugs released a file containing Ryan's home directory located on thievco.com (Home to FBI/NASA/NIPC and many SecurityFocus employees). "The reason is so obvious, it sticks out like Ofir Arkin at defcon" said Chris Spencer (Of Internet Security Systems Inc.) "SecurityFocus doesn't want to deal with all of the bad press. I mean shit, ryan got owned very badly and they must have somehow made their way on to mail.securityfocus.com. Also the recent WIRED article, it is all giving SecFocus a bad name. You know what I mean? I mean, if ISS only knew i got owned about ten times by those ~el8 guys they would fire me on the spot." (Chris Spencer - known as the infamous caddis of Team TESO) "The gate was wide open. And these individuals just waltzed right in." Said Dave Ahmad while picking his nose and moderating bugtraq. Apparently Ryan Russel violated a NON-DISCLOSURE-CONFIDENTIALITY-AGREEMENT that he signed when joining into the SecurityFocus team. SecurityFocus is considering weather or not to press charges against Ryan Russel. The charges that may ensue are: - Extortion - Racketeering - Failure to relieve himself as moderator of Vuln-Dev - Copying private company emails onto thievco - Copying private company software (DeepSight) onto thievco - Assault on employees - Assault with a deadly weapon Early morning on August 15th, the storm was brewing. You could feel the cold breeze and the dry air circulate the cubicle-graveyard in the SecurityFocus HeadQuarters. Huger has had enough. Symantec has been threatening him for days. Huger then makes his way to Ryan Russel's cubicle (#90021). A confrontation ensues. Words are exchanged. In the end Huger & Ahmad are both lying on the floor bleeding while Russel is being carried away in Hand Cuffs. As Russel is being dragged away he makes the comments: "SECURITYFOCUS WILL PAY, YOU ARE ALL FUCKED" One can only guess what Ryan meant by these comments. Will he be selling securityfocus emails to PHC members? Will he sell DeepSight to caddis of ISS? One can only speculate, but the outcome does not look too good for Ryan. A Gag Order has since been placed against Ryan so that he will not violate the NDA provided by SecurityFocus. The PHC has since been contacted by Ryan Russel. He would like to tell his fans that he WILL get through this and that he is changing his ways and joining the PHC. "They might have ruined my life but we must team together and ruin SecurityFocus". -- Brian Mc Schiffman Brian Mc Schiffman would like to specially thank caddis of ISS for being a reliable source for the underground.
