I don’t even know why I up so late reading the news. But dang this one is an odd ball.
Plentyoffish.com got hacked today by a 23 year old Argentinian “security researcher” Chris Russo.
“At midnight Miami time my wife gets a call from Chris Russo that plentyoffish has been hacked into and that Russians have taken over his computer and are trying to kill him, and his life is in extreme danger and they are currently downloading plentyoffish’s database.”
Plenty of Fish CEO Markus Frind (industry sweetheart) took matters into his own hands and decided to email Mrs Russo (Chris’s Mother). Chris was hoping he would get Markus hook line and sinker, but all he caught was a smack around his ears from his Mother plus some.
I kid you not! You can go to the Plenty of Fish blog for the offishal story.
Seems like Markus had a whale of a time today.
P.S I have a love hate relationship with puns.

Obviously people are going to get defensive if you make a contract offer for a security consultation after already breaching your potential employers security…not the best business plan. I do believe that Mr Frind is acting kind of irate though.
