A number of his claims regarding his achievements have been disputed by others within the security industry, and he was mocked with a "Security Charlatan of the Year" award at DEF CON 20 in 2012.[8] Attrition.org also reviewed his alleged credentials and included him on their Security Charlatans list,[9] calling into question the veracity of his marketing statements. He has been accused of plagiarism in his work.[10] His claims of hacking feats have since been trashed by many magazines.[11][12][13]
