"They" are me.
What's up with this belief that anybody you haven't heard of is a member of some shadowy organization? I'm a well known security researcher, I give several presentations a year at cybersec conferences, and my blog gets regularly link to from news.ycombinator.com.
Also, the post above excludes the first part of that: "We are happy to add your IP addresses to our blacklist so we won't ever scan you again".

- JoeAltmaier 13y agoIts safe to assume on the Internet that anybody that comes to you, is a bot or a scam of some kind. Not a surprise to you, a security consultant. I understand frustration that you can't convince everyone that you are a good guy. All good guys these days have that problem. Even the good folks at the NSA ( you aren't one of them, are you? )
