The 2021 Pwnie Nominee For Most Epic Fail

CREST / NCC Group – The Saga Continues

CREST

The saga continues! The botched investigation into NCC Group for cheating. The investigation report could not be published due to how the data was collected and is, therefore, “confidential.” In a classic “business scandal” move, the CREST president recently stepped down.

After the controversy regarding the leaked CREST practice exams to NCC Group, a story popularized through the Pwnies 2020 (of course). Emails were sent out, constantly updating CREST members of the investigation’s progress and asking folks to email any evidence to a Gmail inbox … 

After many arduous months of waiting, concerned pentesters worldwide found the website was quietly updated to say “we’re not releasing the report.” 

As one upset security researcher stated: “We’re still waiting for that “independent report”!”
