Mike Howell:
Ok listen to me closely
We are in the process of identifying and outting members of your group
Reputations and lives will be destroyed
Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are
You cannot hide
Your means are miniscule compared to mine. You now can either turn yourself in or you can cooperate
Oh I so hope that reputations will be destroyed…
From there the messages said to have been sent from Howell become increasingly dark, lecturing the crew on beastiality and how it’s a “weird sin,” calling them perverts," and then telling vio “you won’t be able to wear a furry tiger costume when you’re getting pounded in the ass in the federal prison I put you in next year.”
Overall, not a good look for an organization touting Christian value
Conservatives and especially conservative Christians have some very particular obsessions.
Lol what a loser. Trying so hard to sound badass.

Lol. The gay furry Cybersecurity activist’s reputations are already established.
We like them.
I appreciate what they’re doing, and hope they keep a strong eye on where their ethical boundaries are, and keep our of anything too hot for their opsec to handle.
But Mike Howell needs to watch Ocean’s 11.

Absolutely.
I would prefer our gay furry hackers keep things fully legal, for their own sakes.
That said, Mike needs help from folks like me to catch these kids, and as long as they’re sticking to ethical hacking, I’m not motivated.
Also, I don’t like Mike.
His claim that he actually has my kind of help, actually on his side, is… overconfident, I think.
I can’t guarantee that, though, so I’m glad to hear our ethical hackers have decided to lay low.
In any case, everyone has a slightly different perspective on what counts as ethical, so I hope they’ll stick to legal as much as their conscience will allow, from here out.

Depends on what field you’re in. There are entire sectors of tech that seek out skilled hackers for things like pen testing.

They have a good point though. Pen testing is a vanishingly small corner of our field, and I haven’t seen anyone with a past conviction get hired for those roles, in a long time.
I’ve seen too many hacker kids think their hacker reputation is going to get them out of trouble, and it didn’t.
