Hacker Database (HDB) in the News
Unless if you've been hiding under a rock the past week, you've noticed that our HDB has been getting quite a bit of attention on news sites, twitter, IRC, and mailing lists. As a result, our site is under heavy load (right after I downgraded the server, FML). I wanted to make a news post to clear up a few things about the HDB - as there has been quite a bit of confusion and even some bitching about it.
The HDB's main purpose is to preserve hacker history and give a list of hackers and their public exploits. With that being said, we've had various crew members add entries since 2008. As a result, some of the details are somewhat out of date and many people have yet to be added. We are doing the best that we can, but we have very limited resources. We are not the FBI, we do not have stacks of government money and a network of snitches to provide information to us. If you know of somebody that should be added, or details that should be added - please contact scryptz0 ([email protected]). You will know that the HDB is complete when I am in it. To set the example and not media whore, I have instructed the crew that I cannot be added until everybody else has been. I hope this post shines some additional light on the current state and purpose of the HDB.
