This is the same CERT that asked Attrition to *stop* mailing them
regarding security incidents (web defacements) when we learned of them.

It took me several followup e-mails that included quoting their own web
page regarding their mission to convince them that the email was a good
thing.

I can't help but wonder how in the hell they are "strong in analytical
capabilities" when they try to reject relevant data...
