There is no questioning the monumental task of dealing with hack sites.
Just as parasites, they seem to persist. When high profile sponsors start supporting these hack sites by engaging in symbiotic relationships with them they nourish the parasites rather than squash them - after all, by feeding them free passwords to 'controlled' areas, they can guarantee their own protection from being hacked by these sites.
The little guys on the other hand, have to endure every hack and exploit against their sites funded by the sponsors, and in many cases by their own traffic if they support those sponsors.
Besides, how can you trust a sponsor with your confidential information if they work with those who deal in stolen intellectual property?
Today, I challenged my sponsor on their intention to work with password hack sites and I closed my account. Then in less than a few hours, something happened. Something very bad. Something which is now under investigation.
As soon as all the evidence is in, I may have more to share about this.
In the meantime, are we in a minority when we don't take a supportive or complacent view of password sites?
