HBGary: Silence, Sloppy Reporting Hyped Anonymous Hack

Security firm HBGary issued a statement to counter what it claims were inaccurate media reports about a February security breach that spilled thousands of e-mail messages onto the Internet. The letter seeks to clarify the events surrounding a February, 2011 attack by online mischief making group Anonymous. According to HBGary, loose fact checking by journalists and the company s own silence led to rampant and widespread misinformation about what actually occurred. HBGary claims their source code has always been air-gapped from the Web and that despite allegations to the contrary, it was not stolen.
