What journalists, bloggers, and security magazines? I've not seen anything about these people anywhere. t From: full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk [mailto:full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk] On Behalf Of Fabio Pietrosanti Sent: Sunday, January 31, 2010 3:41 PM To: full-disclosure Subject: [Full-disclosure] Evidence of fake security research from SecurStar GmbH Ok, now we have the evidence: The research was a fake security research arranged for a marketing campaign. They was able cheat most journalists, bloggers and security magazines. I don't remember in all my life a so irresponsible and dirty marketing trick in the security world, abusing of hackers reputations. Read below, they leaked the IP of the anonymous author of http://infosecurityguard.com and it's confirmed that it come from SecurStar GmbH office: Evidence that infosecurityguard.com/notrax is SecurStar GmbH - A fake independent research on voice crypto<http://infosecurity.ch/20100201/evidence-that-infosecurityguard-comnotrax-is-securstar-gmbh-a-fake-independent-research-on-voice-crypto/> (by me) Dishonest security: The SecurStart GmbH case<http://infosecurity.ch/20100201/dishonest-security-the-securstart-gmbh-case/> (by me) Debunking Infosecurityguard identity<http://www.lastknight.com/2010/01/31/debunking-infosecurityguard-com-identity/> from Matteo Flora . It's hilarious and unbelievable that a security company had done something like this.

I have made a detailed analysis of their initiative and the result is that: - it's most probably a camouflage marketing initiative and not a independent security research - they consider a security context where local device has been compromised (no software can be secured in that case) - they do not consider cryptographic security arguments Below my analysis on this (read it carefully): http://infosecurity.ch Maybe it's interesting, maybe not, but for sure some facts are very relevant!
