What’s wrong with this picture…Circuit City?
21 Jul 2008I just stumbled across this “file sharing” site featuring my book Hacking For Dummies…for free download of course. I know, I know, they’re not doing anything illegal – they’re just providing a way for people to share files. Yeah right. The interesting thing I noted was the “legitimate” companies advertising on the site. WOW…I’m sure the executives at Circuit City would be so proud to know that they’re helping sponsor criminal – I mean legitimate file sharing – activity.
I wonder if someone in marketing at Circuit City was doing some illicit (I mean legitimate) surfing at work, came across this site, and clicked the “Advertise Here” link. I’m sure their IT folks had a security policy against this type of computer usage.
Just damn. I think I’ll write Circuit City a letter.
You can’t control this “file sharing”…It’s the “free” market after all, right? Capitalism at its worst? In the end these people doing this stuff have to live with themselves and their actions.

Client Testimonials
“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.
His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
