This page is a showcase of security companies that epitomize irony. Corporations and groups that espouse the
ideals of secure computing and even go so far as to offer (and profit from) products and services
promising such security, while unable to keep their own systems
from being attacked and compromised. These incidents range from corporate web defacements
to virus/worm infections and other embarassing events. In the case of multiple articles, follow-ups
are included below. We also maintain a list of security companies that spam as well
as security companies with auto-update mechanism problems.
