Remember a few months ago I posted about my corncern over a Joe Black of "Black & Berg Security Consulting"? And a few months ago Mr. Berg found his way here, I don't believe the thread is still here.

Well it turns out that I am not the only ones with doubts about his qualifications, and indeed, those of his company.

JadedSecurity Another Fake Boutique Security Firm

omg, the link to attrition.org really shows this guy's backside, what i've been saying all along.

from one of his accounts: "I have infiltrated the DoD, CIA, DIA, NSA, ect...."

Apparently getting connections on linkedin means that you have infiltrated those companies...

Asshat: Joseph K. Black

If a mod feels this is in bad taste, please delete, but I am so happy someone outed this guy.

    Hum. That was the ITT graduate with 4 months of IT contract job experience who self-proclaimed himself a security guru and was forming his own mercenary cyberhacker brigade, right?

    His post was in that thread -- but I deleted his (funny) post since it was SPAM (full of ridiculous claims and obvious BS).

    The guy might be a joke, but posting his name and company again only helps move him up in the Internet search rankings. icon_rolleyes.gif And it might attract him here again to post more drivel.

    I can fully assure you no one will be trusting him anymore. The ITT background alone questionable, and I have put calls in to verify the certs.

    Unfortunately his target market appears to be clueless idiots -- and either they won't notice what the post he didn't write are saying or they'll buy into his probable spin that he's a target now since he's so effective fighting off the threats.

    Ya....the guy is a little loopy to say the least. That picture wasn't what got me the picture with the cage and describing what a CAGE code was is what got me. I couldn't tell if he was serious or being funny.

    Since Mr. Black has "friends" at the FBI, I wonder what they would think if they found out that he claims to have "infiltrated" the DoD and several intelligence agencies...

    Or what ISC2 would think about his shady resume...
