When did HB Gary Federal become a credible source?
The last line of the article, Risky.Biz has no reason to believe Pastebin data was actually leaked by an RSA employee, appears to contradict the article's own headline.
It could have been leaked by a contractor, or by an external operator that has gained access to the accounts or an employee or a contractor.

While they are obviously covering their backsides against defamation accusations, the disclaimer does not necessarily contradict the title.

So, because a recently dumped list of IPs contains some subset of a publicly posted list of known compromised IPs, that's proof it wasn't faked?

Is there something I'm missing, or is that meaningless?
