Do you remember Hector “Sabu” Monsegur; Όπως φαίνεται είναι το νεότερο μέλος στους υπαλλήλους πλήρους απασχόλησης της Rhino Security Labs (RSL), μία company based in Seattle specializing in pen-testing and cyber-security.
Monsegur will serve on the team to evaluate and research. According to an RSL blog post, “Hector has focused on the most technically difficult security engagements, development zeroday vulnerabilities and other innovative solutions. ”
The company reports that much of this work is already underway, and that it will publish the work of Monsegur by the end of the year.
For those who don't know Monsegur is a controversial figure in the cyber security scene due to his role in the hacking group LulzSec, the most notorious group of Anonymous, which he founded and led sometime before 2011.
The FBI secretly captured Monsegur 2011, and since then served as a whistleblower for over ten months, helping the security agency identify several of his colleagues, the LulzSec team and other hacktivists from Anonymous.
Due to his cooperation with the FBI, a judge sentenced him to seven months in prison he had already served. So Monsgur stepped out of court, but he was banned from being online for two years.
After the end of the ban, Monsegur chose to enter the security sector as an independent researcher. However, due to his previous action as a member of LulzSec, many companies avoided working with him. So Rhino Security Labs thought to take the opportunity.
