Ok, now we have the evidence: The research was a fake security
research arranged for a marketing campaign.

They was able cheat most journalists, bloggers and security magazines.

I don't remember in all my life a so irresponsible and dirty marketing

Read below, they leaked the IP of the anonymous author of http://infosecurityguard.com
  and it's confirmed that it come from SecurStar GmbH office:

Evidence that infosecurityguard.com/notrax is SecurStar GmbH – A fake

It's hilarious and unbelievable that a security company had done
something like this.
