CastleCops Under Attack from a "Trademark Troll"

Alex Bckelberry of Sunbelt has a great write-up on the issue.

Gadi Evron recently blogged about the issue as well.

CastleCops is a small company that is run by two great people and this is just makes me sick to see Leo Stoller attempt to blackmail money from them.

As a PIRT handler, I take Leo’s move as a personal insult. The members of the PIRT team work hard to stop global phishing and to do everything in our power to protect the general public. The general public doesn't know what we do...and it really doesn't matter. We know we are making a difference and the bad guy know we are making a difference. That is what counts.

The security community can not stand by and let people like Leo attempt to profit off the hard work of volunteers.
