Open letter to EC Council

Dear EC Council,

Your website is hacked.  Your website has been hacked - for a long time.  Way too long for any "security" training/accreditation company.  You probably know I have a generally low opinion of your CEH and CHFI certifications, but please don't let that stand between us.

Your handling of the security of your website is hurting our industry.  If a professional licensing board for doctors were giving bogus prescriptions from their website for weeks, it would hurt doctors.  Same thing for any professional group.

In the infosec profession, we started first by laughing at your misfortune of being hacked (again).  It is sort of ironic when a security company gets hit - and even more ironic when the incident response sucks.  Then some of us started a pool as to how long it would take before you cleaned the site.  But now, most of us have just given up hope that you'll actually do something.

This is no longer funny.  To that end, I'd like you to know that I can not longer stand idly by while you continue to serve malware from your website.  Instead of continuing to laugh at you (which is tempting), Rendition Infosec is offering our assistance, free of charge, to help you clean your web server and stop serving malware.  We can even help you investigate the original breach if you actually desire to do so.

Please seriously consider this offer.  If you don't want us, for goodness sake, get help from someone.
You are making our industry look bad.  Period.  If you let Rendition clean your server, I promise not to joke about CEH for at least a month.  It will be hard, but I can do it.

Sincerely,
Jake Williams
Founder, Rendition Infosec
