Secreview is clearly anything less than professional. I would say this is a repeat of "InfoSecSellout" if not the exact same people. > In a Different email Andre lost all credibility with us because he decided > to directly attack other companies that we've reviewed that received higher > grades.

Anyway, > here's what Andre had to say (we'll comment later): If I know something bad about a company that you gave a good grade to, I feel the need to bash that company based on your reputation alone. In other words, since you can't be trusted; I feel the need to offset any good things you've said by adding my own commentary. Every security consulting company is unique (have their own unique good/bad points). Many are small and as I said before, "fighting just to stay in business". If you are going to give poor reviews, I suggest you write them up and keep them to yourself instead of publishing them. For one of the companies that I worked for in the past, we had a special way of analyzing new products/services. In our assessments, we would gather up all of the good points of the best vendors -- instead of focusing on the bad points of vendors that failed our criteria. It takes a special kind of asshole to do what you do. I also believe that you know this, and only by hiding behind anonymity are you willing to continue to do what it is that you do. As far as losing credibility with you, I'm clearly fine with that... I'll be getting plenty of free beer from others who dislike you. Maybe your nepotism will pay off with the companies you give good grades to. Maybe you'll win a Nobel Prize for your amazing methodology of rating security consulting companies by their websites, as well as the scientific method (i.e. using Google to search mailing-lists for people's names).
