Subject: Evidence of fake security research from SecurStar
GmbH
Ok, now we have the evidence: The research was a fake security
research arranged for a marketing campaign.
They was able cheat most journalists, bloggers and security magazines.
I don't remember in all my life a so irresponsible and dirty marketing
trick in the security world, abusing of hackers reputations.
Read below, they leaked the IP of the anonymous author of http://infosecurityguard.com
and it's confirmed that it come from SecurStar GmbH office:
Evidence that infosecurityguard.com/notrax is SecurStar GmbH – A fake
independent research on voice crypto (by me)
Dishonest security: The SecurStart GmbH case (by me)
Debunking Infosecurityguard identity from Matteo Flora .
It's hilarious and unbelievable that a security company had done
something like this.
