Security vulnerability marketplace WabiSabiLabi has finally broken its silence on Monday's arrest of co-founder Roberto Preatoni in Milan. This comes as the latest development in an ongoing Telecom Italia spying scandal. They didn't really have much to say, but here's the statement:

Roberto Preatoni Strategic Director of WabiSabiLabi has been arrested
and remains in custody in Milan.

WabiSabiLabi can not comment on the open investigation or the statements
being made in the press.

From newspaper reports we presume the arrest relates to events in
2003/04 when his former company was hired by Telecom Italia's Security
division to safeguard Telecom Italias' interests and are unrelated to
WabiSabiLabi in any way.

Mr Peatoni's unfortunate arrest has not affected the day-to-day
operations of the WabiSabiLabi.

Roberto Preatoni is well known for his terrific contribution to
information security and civil liberty and we are confident that his
innocence will be established if a case ever comes to court.

By the way, as the guys at Matasano Security have pointed out... Corporate bloggers beware: automating your "company in the news feed" = a bad idea. Check out the stories here on the WabiSabiLabi blog.
