Today, Brian Krebs has published the story of 2 of the guys behind Mariposa, and how they tried to be hired by… me! Yes, that is true 
They really got pissed off, or at least it seems like that, as some hours later “someone” tried to pose as me in Twitter. My Twitter name is Luis_Corrons, and the fake account was Iuis_Corrons. It started following all of my followers… including myself :
As you can see, he was also using my avatar. Twitter has been really fast, and has already suspended the account:
Bets are opened! I would say it is Netkairo, though I really don’t mind. Some people over here say that I should be careful, as Netkairo lives near here and has already visited me twice. But Nerea, my wife, has told me that I don’t have to be worried, as she has increased my life insurance policy 
In a few days I will publish here the original story, so you can know all the details and what kind of guys they are…
