Stop the craziness
I have remained silent on the whole Apple Worm/InfoSec Sellout/LMH-Maynor thing so far. However, after reading an article in ComputerWorld, in addition to Martin's early, erroneous CW article, Cutaway's post and finally this blog post. Dave Maynor finally responded on his blog, calling bullcrap on the whole thing.
My take on this is that the sellout, though he said not nice things about me, was afraid to identify himself because it would cost him his job. When he announced this Mac worm, things spun out of control and there was to much heat for him and risked blowing his cover. From that point on the buzz spun out of control. Too many people trying to figure out who he was and the next thing you know the site is pulled down. He had a thing for Dave, so people start looking at motive and Dave is their man. So with the armchair Perry Mason's running wild, sellout sees a perfect opportunity to capitalize and take the heat off of himself. Next emails start showing up, allegedly from Maynor that he is in fact LMH.
Guys lets stop the madness. Dave Maynor is not LMH, either is sellout. All of you armchair detectives back in the box. If there ever was in fact a Mac worm, who cares frankly at this point. It is amazing how these things spin out of control.
