Stryde Hax - The Man Who Started an IOC Investigation?

Did an online blogger/hacker finally persuade the IOC to look further into the ages of He Kexin and other Chinese Olympic gymnasts? Many people believe that Stryde Hax’s online blog did exactly that - on it, the blogger dug up previously posted information from the Chinese government regarding He Kexin’s age (indicated that she would be 14 now, not 16). Unfortunately, when Stryde clicked on a Google result, the target page had been curiously removed (duhn, duhn, duhnnnnnn). Thank goodness for cached pages….

For anyone wondering who exactly this Stryde Hax dude is, he describes himself on his website in the following way:

I am a consultant with the Intrepidus Group, a proactive security firm known for launching the first proactive anti-phishing service, phishme.com. I have a wide ranging security background, from reverse engineering to penetration testing. In my spare time, I find things on web servers that were never meant to be found.

This story is pretty damn interesting for anyone that has been following the Olympics - check it out via the link below.
