Strange story, to say the least. It sure doesn't sound very credible though - lots of "smoke and mirrors".

It has been discussed in a couple of other threads. So far it looks to be a bit of self-aggrandisement from the blogger. Whilst there is obviously an element of truth from the Securityfocus rating, it's a long way from being Slammer.
