  This is bullsh**

  God, the media will publish anything if it is sensational enough. I like the quote on attrition.org's response "Companies that can't implement basic network security are suddenly installing 'strikeback' software?"
  
  Rumors like this have been around for a long time, and they have never been substantiated. The media likes this subject because it is interesting, so they print it, despite the fact that there is absolutely no proof of it. They don't even give the real name of the guy running the supposed vigilante security company, or the name of his company.
  
  What do people do to find him? Is it like hiring a Mafia hit man or something? Do you look for little ads in the back of Network Computing magazine? "The Equalizer: Are you having problems with hackers? Call 555-1212". Give me a break.
