I am the person that you are attacking. But I am not sure why. I did not say that someone did not get attacked, maybe he did. But who cares?

There is no information here. Which network was he connected to? What systems did he talk with? What services and programs does he run?

Without something to work with this is a non-story, nothing to see here, move along. If real information comes out then it could well be worth looking into. But without something to work with this is a non-story, nothing to see here, move along.
