Over one year ago, we documented a case where Evans was plagiarizing content for his Twitter feed. Since then, he has demonstrated a clear pattern of plagiarism and copyright violation. Even after his ‘National CyberSecurity’ web site was ousted by GoDaddy for repeated copyright violations (scraping entire articles and re-posting without permission), Evans continues to do it.
Even after all this time, Evans still plagiarizes people he hates.

Appears Evans missed his hearing yesterday in the Doe 8 case. The motion filed afterward is full of deception. Hope the court sees through…
Evans forgot to register it, someone else did now. Didn’t he bash others for not registering domains?

Re: NOTICE TO CEASE AND DESIST INTERNET DEFAMATON AGAINST MINA MAR GROUP
Well it’s official. I’ve made it: Gregory D Evans has ripped off my work!
Just did an interview with Risky Business for a podcast coming today or tomorrow, talking about Errata and Gregory Evans.
SecurityCritics.org:
“Barr and Evans” might not sound as cool as “Bonnie and Clyde” or “Sidious and Vader,” but you—
—waitaminit, I just realized: you can’t call Barr & Evans a duo. Talk about a bad simile! Let me start over…
I’ve exposed charlatans and false prophets in the computer security industry for nearly a quarter-century. John McAfee, Richard Clarke, Dan Verton, D.K. Matai, and (most recently) Joseph K. Black all come to mind. Up to this point, though, their activities qualified as “unethical behavior” done for shameless self-promotion. It shouldn’t surprise us to find outright alleged criminals operating out of a digital store front with real investors and paying customers.
@ccurzio:
So many of you know that I’ve been following the LIGATT nonsense for quite some time. Let’s face it, it’s completely obvious that Gregory Evans and LIGATT as a whole are both a joke and a disgusting blemish in the Information Security industry. Evans is a self-promoting charlatan and bullshit artist but, credit where credit is due, he’s excellent at fooling people who don’t know any better.
Bloomberg has hit Evans’ charlatan page 44 times from Dec 1 - Dec 26, but 0 times today. #LIGATT

RT @Ligatt: Well we dropped the lawsuit in state court and have filed in Federal Court. <— Lies. Judge dismissed your case with prejudice.
