From the primary site tracking Mr. Smith: "Simon Smith is arguably one of InfoSec's most prominent charlatans to appear in 2016/2017. Even veterans of the industry still question if he is an elaborate troll or a person doing business in the security industry. He appears to scam people under the guise of protecting people from the scams that he himself may perpetrate. He recently deleted/deactivated his Facebook and Twitter acount, only to reactivate one again shortly after. One thing seems certain; emotion and anger seem to be a driving influence in his life."
