A major objective of the Info

the site’s content is generated by these people willing to share
their knowledge and experiences on the various aspects of security/hacking
via original white papers, articles and projects.

sketchy 'StartNow' toolbar, changing the user's default search engine
to Microsoft Bing, and changing their home page to Microsoft's MSN.

For those that saw the kitty, I found it entertaining, and hope you did too. Remember, we are a free site with people contributions. There is no confidential information, we dont sell anything, and there is nothing of value here.
I did enjoy the kitty though!
