Pretty much the only important part of this (tremendous!) message is the bit at the end:

Yeah, that gave me a pause too.

Then again, he might not have a "hacking background" but might have a strong embedded/networking background so he knows where to look, considering how he found exploits that blackhats missed.

So either he's that good or blackhats are two-bit[0] criminals.

[0] No pun intended.
