Mudge is the new head of security at Twitter, which got me talking about cDc, hacking groups, cliques, and the distinctions between them. I mentioned 8lgm and TESO as examples of hacking groups best understood as hacking groups, unlike cDc. Someone said: “never heard of them”.

The difference between cDc and TESO/ADM/8lgm etc was that cDc wanted to be 'heard of' and TESO/ADM/8lgm preferred to remain under the radar and do what they did best: hacking. The media attention was a distraction. Not an encouragement.
