After all the damage anonymous caused HBGary you'd think they'd be done punishing them, but not just yet. HBGary was scheduled to speak at the RSA convention that took place February 14-18 in San Fransico. They arrived and set up their booth and left for the night to prepare their talks for the next day. They were going to unviel a new product called Razor, it was a computer / software combo that would be able to identify and analyze malware of all types, even code never seen before (so they claim). However, when they returned the next day to their booth they saw that Anonymous had been there.

They were disturbed by this physical act and felt stalked and not just embarrassed but threatened physically. Vice President of Services for HBGary Jim Butterworth told Ars "They decided to follow us to a public place where we were to do business and make a public mockery of our company. Our position was that we respected RSA and our fellow vendors too much to allow this spectacle to occur." They left this message behind:
