So it appears that Rajat Khare is behind the shady Indian company Appin who appear to offer "hack for hire" services whilst fronting as a cyber security training company and aren't shy about using lawyers to manipulate the public record.

Just wanted to make sure that was clear.



>and aren't shy about using lawyers to manipulate the public record

If they were actually any good at the services they offered, they wouldn't need lawyers, they would manipulate the public record by hacking it!


different jobs, different tools, all hacks


They're good at providing the services they offer insofar as they fulfill the contract, but these sorts of mercenary firms pretty much just phish people. They're quite good at it, but that is pretty much all they do.


Thank you for the summary. I found the article convoluted.
