During that conversation I identified myself as a member of the SNOsoft Research Team and made no effort to hide my origin what so ever. If you'd like a copy of that chat transctipt I can provide it or you can go back and look at your logs. With that said, Netragard and SNOsoft have no affiliation with the secreview team and your accusations are infact unfounded. Additionally, if you take a look at our website you'll see that we publish white papers designed to arm our customers with questions specific to finding a good security provider. It appears to me that someone who downloaded one of our papers was using it to ask you questions about your services. Was there a problem with them doing that? Were you able to successfuly answer the questions? Finally, your blog entry is not only unethical as you are making false accusations but it is slanderous. Not only are falsley accusing Netragard and SNOsoft of being associated with secreview, but you are also calling us unethical hackers when we are quite ethical. All in all, this begs the question, why are you so afraid of being reviewed anyway? Many companies have been reviewed and many have come out looking good. What do you have to hide? I'll post a formal response to this on our blog. Not only are you incorrect about your accuasations, but this blog entry is borderline unethical. Additionally, secreview also did a review of Netragard. You are basing your opinion on the fact that I, “Simon Smith” chatted with one of your engineers earlier this month.
