Subject: Counter-Attacking hackers? (wtf)
I think personally they are on crack, it sounds very controversial
While other companies offer only passive defense barriers, Symbiot provides the equivalent of an active missile defense system. "
I am sure any responsible organisation would not want to run such a product, for a start such a product is surely illegal in most countries and an
organisation has enough aspects to consider in its daily management without
worrying about waging wars with malicious attackers
