IP Lawfirm sues security researcher

scottbee writes: A major New York intellectual property lawfirm has filed a $1m lawsuit against domain squatter/security researcher Wesley Kenzie (aka Securikai). Kenzie registered domain names to collect misaddressed email, and then holding companies to ransom claiming he had found security vulnerabilities and would consult for five figure engagements. Lockheed Martin handled it with a simple UDRP http://www.udrpsearch.com/naf/1437907, but the Gioconda Law Group decided instead to file a lawsuit for "cybersquatting, trademark infringement and unlawful interception of a law firm’s private electronic communications in violation of federal laws", along with a permanent injunction.
Kenzie had also tried the same tactic against Rapid7's HDMoore, but was shamed out of the domain names earlier this year. http://attrition.org/errata/charlatan/watch_list/securikai/
