If that is indeed the guy, he certainly sounds like a massive douchebag.
About 1000 times a douchebag.

Hasn't everyone woken up some day and said "hey, I'm gonna break RSA today"? I guess that only happens when you have the experience of 1000 hackers...

Actually he sounds like a teenager troll, and blatant at that.

#16Am I the only one to expect the guy who compromised a CA and generated a number of very high-value certs to use one of those certs to sign his message?

The math in these algorithms is not the vulnerable part of the process. It is almost always the implementation or the implementers that are exploited.

#18He sounds like a douchebag because he thinks, he is awesome after hacking a CA.
The most stuff is just lame, but I still appreciate the way how he infiltrated the system.

#19I crossed paths with the guys behind globaltrust.it years ago. I ended up auditing a code project they had written for a co. in the financial services industry that required good security, audit trails, client authentication etc.
After the third remote exploit that I found, my recommendation was that they throw it out and start again, it was a huge jumble of PHP. This hurt their feelings, and a 6 month long argument ensued where they defended their competency.
When I heard 'Italian certificate provider' last week, I thought it could be them, because they went on to launch a certificate project. I am more surprised that Comodo didn't do any due diligence on their resellers. All they had to do was to email my client to ask how their project went, and they would have found out about the clusterfuck.

I came here to post exactly that.
After reading him state how astonishing his skills are and how he'll tackle the integer factorization problem, I thought to myself, "he must be a 20 years old university student." Then he states his age.
