While I'm not new to computer security, I am new to the politics involved.

1. who is PHC? (all I get is anti-whitehat propoganda)
2. Why does this announcment come from gmail.com? Don't tell me for
anonymity. If PHC is half as 'leet' as they make themselves out to be, I
don't think they'de resort to anonymity this way.
3. How do we even know this person is related in any way, and didni't just
get some gmail address?
4. This seems like an ironic post to a white-hat list. Perhaps the first
was designed to "instil fear," but that wouldn't explain the enthusiastic
reply (quoted).

Or just disreguard this if I have no idea what i'm talking about - again,
i'm new to this politics thing, and I wasn't beaten as a child.
