Re: Governments CERT plans to sell early warnings on Web threats

Finally, the CERT is actually getting some money for
their stuff.  Usually, some "security" company (A.K.A.
large accounting firm/professional consulting firm) charges
a large sum of money claiming they will scour all the
secret hacker lairs.  But all you get are re-packaged
CERT messages.

However, are there any "real humans" involved in this
effort.  The alliance's web site seems purposely designed
to obscure all information about the people behind the
alliance.  No executive direct is listed, no members or
listed, only generic roll accounts are listed for e-mail.
