I dont know what the fuck your talking about, he didnt slap me around nor did i "make fun of him". "WE" arent all friends, most people "here" would stab each other in the back for a nickel.
Is the guy fairly smart ? I suppose that all depends on how you look at it. Does he seem to know alot about computers ? yes, Does this seem like a smart way of extorting money ? not really. Does this guy sound like a millionaire ? NO , are there many millionaire's on gfy ? yes . Would many of the millionaires on gfy put a bullet in this guys head out of sheer arrogance ? probably..
lets recap the thread ,
ciao came here said he could access most paysites etc , basically says he can keep your sites free and clear of theft for a fee ( clear extortion , i'm not judging , just stating a fact ) , then he asks for a very small pittance of a fee but doesnt leave any contact info. Only 1 or 2 people have actually left contact details for him to contact them back , and he suddenly flies to atlantic city .. hmmm
So it seems he has implicated himself in a crime for a very small fee , that he could obviously make much more if he worked for any of the companies that might contact him, and that leads me to my second point, if anyone did contact him ,they know they are working with someone who was extorting money from people, that doesn't sound like a very healthy business relationship , knowing both parties would screw you at the drop of a hat.
You are right on one point , half the people in the thread either write him off as the usual "script kiddie" and the other half just don't care.
is he the smartes guy on the net, ? obviously not or he wouldn't wasting his time here , so obviously you could hire someone smarter to block him. He is taking advantage of a good market ( insecure adult companies that dont hire mainstream security consultants ) , but going about it entirely the wrong way.
he would have been smarter to ask .. " What are the top 20 adult companies " , then contacted each of them with a security audit and a price. Any smart company making lots of money either "KNOWS" how much they lose to theft ( thus knowing how much they can spend to secure it ) or they dont and wont care either way..
