mudge no longer believes in hacked values? (Score 1)

If what's being said is true, this is a very bad move for @stake. The company used to be called L0pth Heavy Industries and was lead by Boston-based Mudge, now CEO of @stake. Mudge gave an interesting opinion in the preface of Hackproofing your network by Ryan Russel, saying that this world is driven by the people who, quote, are not afraid to rip things apart and see how they work from the inside. In summary, sharing of knowledge and open criticsm are key to the progression of society. Mudge gave an impression as if he believed in these values greatly.

Now, if a @stake employee whether on- or off-hours, writes a credible report on MS not representing those values, and gets fired for it, then the CEO in the building must have a different mindset. One of MS's: money money money, in a richman's world. And if so, @stake (and its services, including securityfocus.com) should not be considered so seriously anymore.

Anyone writing criticism upon 9/11 was fired; their words true or not. I thought the hacker mindset would be immune to that; sadly it's not. Shame.

All this under the presumption that the data in the article is correct.
