Unlike corporate thieves or ruthless threat actors, we operate with a strict code of ethics: we do not target children, schools, or healthcare facilities.Instead of destroying them, we have chosen to act as an uninvited security audit. We are using our platform to publicly invite the administration of Palatine School to contact us privately. We will provide them with the full technical details of the critical vulnerabilities we discovered and guide them on how to patch their system for free, ensuring they are protected from other ruthless cyber criminals.
