Indian Programming firm- WATCH OUT

I just wanted to let everyone know about this Indian “coding” firm. They are really bad, over charge for everything, lie, and retaliate big time.

So hears my story.
I first found them through SL, and they were the highest ranked coders there- so I said, what the hell they must be good. So I decided to check them out a little bit more and decided to pick them a few months later off of SL.

So they started developing, and they were a bunch of idiots. I had to call them 3 times to explain things, they really don’t speak good english (I mean its understandable, but it could be a lot better). They said it would be finished Novmeber 28th, I finally told them to stop January 25th. 2 months late, and the site wasn’t even done.

I paid 5k for a non working website, so I hired another programmer for $700 to finish the site off. He was making the mods off my site, and then started integrating them on my site and realized that there was absolutely no security in the scripts. He said “you are open to every PHP security vulnerability possible, who the hell coded this?”…

So for 5k I got a totally unsecured, unfinished, poorly coded website.

I just wanted to warn you all about these coders. They aren’t good, and basically charge American prices.

They’re name is Ezols Corporation (www.esolz.net)

Please just be aware.

Should hackers be sentenced to death?

Chinese Hacker Sentenced to Death for Embezzlement

A 36-year old hacker was sentenced to death in Hangzhou recently by the Ningbo Intermediate Court in east China’s Zhejiang Province for embezzling over one million yuan (US$120,000) of public money from a bank account.

A senior official said that this is the most severe punishment that a Chinese judicial organization has given to a hacker.

As an accountant in Ningbo branch of the Bank of Communications of China, Fang Yong embezzled about 1.66 million yuan (about US$200, 000) of public money, by counterfeiting bank paper, and taking money from people’s account from May to August 1990.

He fled to Canada in 1990 and was expelled by the Canadian government last year and sent back to China for trial.
