It is pretty clear that 'Comodohacker' is the guy that hacked Comodo (check the first Pastebin where as 'proof' he releases the as yet unannounced email and pass of the CEO). As to the authenticity of the latest hack, perhaps that might be a bit bullshit, but I would not be surprised.

Yes, the way he/she is bragging about '1337 hacker' skills is pretty 'lulzy'. I am not a security geek, but I find it amusing to see someone bragging about skills I consider to be something not worth mentioning.

This person certainly has patience when it comes to Googling.

The most embarrassing thing that can happen to a security company is getting owned by someone like this.

I am perfectly willing to believe that this person has at least some responsibility for the attacks, what I don't believe is that he did it using all these 1337 swordfish style skillz as he describes.

I'd put money on all of them involving basic social engineering and spear phishing with PDFs.
