Forwarded By: MorpheusX <MorpheusX () digitalhackers com> Greetings, This is bullcrap. I do online "bounty hunting" for a few firms and goverment agency's. I was interrested in the ammount offered. So I tried gaining some information on them. First there number is not in service. Second they dont even get up to 90 megs a second, there connection couldnt of taken that information and would of got DoS'd, thus the ISP too would of complained. The FBI denies even hearing about this case. Probly a publicity stunt, And one not very good. Gona hurt there reputation more then anything else.
