    Thanks for the article

    "It is a double-edged sword, but what we're doing is really for the greater good of the Internet, we're setting up communication networks for black hats," Wbeelsoi said."

    Can anyone tell us what exactly that's all about?

    The software developer put greater emphasis on security of the code they usually develop but the market is pulling them down to that direction as people always need new features and it more user friendly.

    Since when do hackers get interviewed and still be on the loose?

    There's a difference between hackers and crackers. Hackers are an integral part of the software security auditing scene.

    And yeah, this was a hoax.

    Hoax, huh? Good. But why even bother to create such a hoax?
