To make him even more manly, they called him Keith MANN.


I had a 5-digit in low 20K at the time.

It was stolen because of a weak password on the account.

This is how I started my way in cyber security, thanks to the frustration and further research on how that happened.


Yeah same here, mine was an 8 digit, so not super impressive. But still was stolen. Associated with a .ir email account now. Oh well.

Same sort of thing happens with low SteamIDs.


i had a 6-digit number in the 150's. i haven't logged in in years, and when i did the password reset i discovered it's associated with some mail.ru address now. oh well.


Just watched his talk literally last night and ordered the same poster :) Thanks for sharing!


Ex-employee here. I keep seeing articles like this one consistently getting published like every 4 months by various media. It's funny to see how many times the crowd can buy the same story about accusing Kaspersky in such activity. Now you Reuters.
