Former Hackers Provide Computer-Security Secrets for Colton, Calif., Firm
Jun. 26 (The Business Press/KRTBN)--A group of self-described ex-computer
hackers, phreakers, high-tech thieves and investigators recently announced it
has started shipping its answer to high-tech crime.
The Cyber Group Network Corp. (OTC BB: CGPN), a 4-month-old publicly held
company in Colton, began shipping its new Hi-Tech Hustler software this month,
filling 100,000 orders taken since October, said Chief Strategic Officer Gregory
Evans.
A lot of orders are coming over the Internet from Third World countries, he
said.
The software, marketed to security consultants, teachers, law enforcement
agencies and others interested in electronic security, includes a CD-ROM
tutorial that describes how criminals commit such foul deeds as penetrating
network operations, uploading destructive viruses, cloning cellular phones and
bugging offices. The software details what to look for and how to protect a
system, company officials said.
The package includes more than 500 programs used by hackers to commit theft and
shut down company networks, according to a company release.
"To catch a thief, you have to think like a thief," Evans said when asked if the
package might make it easier for someone to commit high-tech crime. "Someone has
to give these people the tools these hackers are using."
Hi-Tech Hustler is marketed by Cyber Group Network, a subsidiary of Cyber Crime
Corp. Its Web page, www.cybercrimecorp.com, explains that the company's
employees have legal as well as financial reasons for their crime fighting,
saying: "The majority of employees have taken deals with the U.S. Attorney's
office in which we agreed to teach others how they can protect themselves."
Peter Garza, a computer crime investigator in Rancho Cucamonga whose experience
includes more than 10 years as a special agent with the U.S. Naval Criminal
Intelligence Service, said he hasn't seen the company's new software product,
but he doubts it is more of a security risk than information already easily
available.
"For hackers, this won't make it any easier," he said. "The baby hackers this
might help -- but not much."
Similar programs can be found at Fairplex swap meets for as little as $5, Garza
said. "A lot of vendors have (a hacker-oriented) compilation CD. It's pretty
common," he said.
Hi-Tech Hustler includes more than 100,000 pages of news and features on
high-tech crime from such sources as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and
USA Today, Evans said. It features interviews with techie criminals -- those in
jail and those on the lam.
Cyber Group Network plans to branch into computer security technology, Internet
access devices and acquisition of other Internet and communications companies.
