lol, how pathetic.
symantec actually wanted to have the hackers publicly state that they lied about ever doing it.
They would have been lucky enough to get their code back in the first place.

So the "Norton Corporation" got hacked by Mexican script kiddies? Oh wow.
Their service was horrible, no wonder they got fucked like this. It's probably just Karma fighting back.

It's pretty common for security teams to pay people who find flaws in their software, on the basis that in exchange for the money, the hackers don't release any of it publicly. Google and Mozilla both have pages on their website offering huge amounts of money to anyone reporting major security flaws in their products.

Norton sucks harder than an entire production run of Dysons.
