LIGATT CEO Gregory D Evans Hacked and Exposed
It appears that the website (rm’d), email and Twitter account of the much disliked LIGATT CEO Gregory D Evans have been hacked, and 84,668 of his emails have been leaked in a 4.15GB torrent. Evans, self-declared “World’s Number 1 Hacker” and also a convicted felon, is frequently outed by many in the security industry for his use of plagiarism, fraud and unethical practices. This leak is probably due to his consistent harassment of security professionals who have been vocal about exposing his activities. A full and descriptive profile of Evans is available at SecurityErrata.org.
Messages were posted on Evans’ hacked Twitter account (above), pointing to a Pastebin (since removed). Here is an excerpt:
Do not meddle in the affairs of hackers, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
When one thinks of frauds in the infosec community, most people are quick to point to Gregory D Evans of LIGATT Security[…]
He’s gone after people at their home to intimidate them and their family. He’s gone after them at their work to discredit them with their employer. And as everyone knows, he recklessly sues anyone who speaks negatively of him on the internet[…]
Enough is enough. He must be stopped by any means necessary. To that end, at the end of this message is a torrent of the inbox of [email protected]
The end of the message contained a link to another pastebin (also removed), which was a Base64-encoded torrent file. The password for the archive in the torrent, as posted on his Twitter feed, is “DoomedCharlatan”. Ligattleaks (now offline), a site dedicated to leaking information about Gregory Evans’ activity (although they say they were not involved in this particular leak), have announced that they will be trawling the emails for evidence of fraud and unethical behaviour.
[Updated] Ligattleaks is back online offline online offline, for good it seems. Another security firm (HBGary) hacked and exposed for investigating Anonymous.
[Update 15/2/2011] CBS Atlanta had a news segment about LIGATT and Gregory Evans entitled “Hacker or Hoax”. LIGATT responds to CBS Atlanta (link removed as his site was found to be distributing malware). This post debunks LIGATT’s response.

first troll bump!
Does anyone have the torrent file or the cache of the pastebin page with the base64 encoded message? Because pastebin took it offline.
This dude is so full of himself, ive never even heard of you and your claiming to be “The World’s #1 Hacker”. No sir you are the worst hacker, because you got caught and Plagiarized 1000’s of documents and tutorials. In my book, your just some sk1ddy. You are an idiot.
Now providing phantom witnesses and fabricated witness statements to order. Listen to recording of Evans taking part in a conspiracy to defraud. He’s a dishonest lying cheat and thieve.
