Nobody Is That Dumb ... Oh, Wait VI

Now, making jokes about Gartner (the latest I've heard is related to a "G-spot" and is thus unprintable :-)) is one thing and it is fair game, but stealing from Gartner is definitely "not kosher."

It is also royally dumb to steal Gartner's content and put it on a personal blog as "your insight" as this assclown here did. This so-called blog post with "insights about SIEM" is copied verbatim from Gartner's 2007 Magic Quadrant on SIEM with no attribution anywhere within a five mile radius. Let's see:

Big G says, e.g. in their 'Use Case #4': "Full-featured SIEM products designed to deliver a broad set of capabilities, including security operations center console functions for large, complex
environments"

Assclown says in his item #4: "Full-featured SIEM products designed to deliver a broad set of capabilities, including security operations center console functions for large, complex environments."

Surprise - all other items match as well! :-)

Gartner folks, prepare your attack dogs! :-)

Hi Anton

I've seen something like this over the past couple of months--basically it's scraped blogs from somewhere that get regurgitated verbatim into a blog that is entirely non-sequitor. Usually they have links to pr0ns as part of a bigger-badder SEO ploy.

I don't see what the gimmick on this particular blog is, but it does hit all the security buzzwords, so I wouldn't be surprised if "Balachandar Natarajan" is a bot. =)

No, it is rephrased enough (and taken from a PDF doc...), so I think it is a really stupid human, not a bot. I think bot wouldn't have done it :-)
