Selling Source Code Cont.
Here’s some more information on the group who’s trying to sell the source code for the Dragon IDS. They went so far as to include a FAQ in their newsletter, answering such questions as “Why should you trust us?” Who would ever be foolish enough to trust someone who specializes in breaking and stealing source code and then advertising it on the Web?
What disturbs me the most is that I’m sure there are companies out their with employees who probably would buy code this way, if it wasn’t for the current publicity. I have no idea why the SCC went out of their way to advertise that they have Dragon and Napster code in such a public manner. What on earth were they thinking? I guess it’s because it takes technical skills, not common sense, to procure the code.
I hope the authorities catch up with these guys soon. I’m not holding my breath, just hoping.
