  Clearly this company is going to be in business for a long time to come...

  Prevention Vs. analysis

  It would be even more ironic if they were actually in the hacker prevention business.
  
  But Guidance is in the computer forensic analysis software business. Their software either runs inside the network you want to protect (the enterprise version) or on a freestanding workstation that requires the physical hard drive from the suspect's machine. No, I don't work for Encase. In fact, my agency pays Encase a lot of money to purchase/license their programs.
  
  It's almost as good to say "Forensic software company hacked".

    ...a special thanks goes to Paul and his company for funding this year's christmas, and my summer-of-'06 trip to Italy. Grazie!

    Re: Prevention Vs. analysis

    Well...your right about them being a computer forensic company, but they also state the following on their website:
    
    Most companies have sophisticated intrusion detection systems, but without a reasonable plan to address security breaches, the number of alerts is overwhelming. We don't think you should have to pick and choose which issues to address; we think every significant event demands attention. That's why we built EnCase® Enterprise software to provide a complete and automated incident response capability, able to fully integrate with your alerting systems, automating response, data analysis and remediation across your entire enterprise. And better still, EnCase Enterprise can do it live, while the network is up and running. Now you're covering more ground, quickly, with little or no disruption to your organization.
    
    So it would seem they did not use their own products at all or they just don't work.

      Maybe the IDS did not go off? That statemnent says it integrates with the alerting systems. They are not an alerting system.

  Re: Hacker Detection Firm... Hacked

  That's hilarious...and sad. Add to this the fact that most of their customers knew as much or more than they did about network security and computer crimes...lol.

  Yeah, I just saw a commercial for (I think it was) AOL. It was like "we protect you from hackers." I was all, "shyah right! Some happy little company like AOL is going to keep my safe from determined and clever hackers. Right." This story proves my case.
  I think it's hilarous.

  Every move like chess

  A hacker has you mated before you start.
