L33tdawg: Something tells me this wasn't such a smart move. In the past (what has it been? 2 weeks perhaps?) kill.net and kimble.org have been victims of 2 defacements (one of which coming AFTER Mr. Schmitz claimed to have super secured his box) and a Denial of Service attack. What's next?

A group of vigilante hackers said it has identified the leader of a rival Pakistani hacking group and has turned the information over to the FBI. Members of Yihat, an international coalition of hackers attempting to disrupt terrorist computer networks, said they have discovered the real name and contact information for the co-founder of GForce Pakistan.

"GForce members will be busted soon! We delivered all (information) about those terror-supporters to the FBI," Schmitz told chat participants. . A member of Yihat who identified himself as Pullerman said the GForce leader's nickname "Heataz" was easily connected to his real name through a simple Web search. According to Pullerman, Heataz is employed with an online firm in Karachi, Pakistan.
