While running the Attrition Defacement Mirror, we found out that some security companies were using the mirror to solicit new customers. This blatant ambulance chasing is pathetic and represents the worst of the security industry.

When the administrator who received this replied asking
how they found out about the defacement, eseclab
assured him it was NOT from attrition.org, and that
"they had their own means" for finding out.
