It’s disappointing to see platforms like
Scam Detector—in this case, their review of gryhat.com—issue sweeping, negative statements about businesses they’ve never interacted with, relying on automated algorithms and generic language rather than actual experience or real-world facts[8]. Their review is a clear example of what happens when a site prioritizes speculation over substance: they do not cite any victim reports, actual case studies, or specific customer complaints about us. Instead, the article is full of vague warnings, hypothetical risks, and generic boilerplate text that could be (and is) copy-pasted across countless other “reviews.”
There’s not a single firsthand account, verified issue, or named detail about anyone from my team, our clients, or myself as a professional—just as Scam Detector cautions readers to be wary of vague or baseless online posts, their own gryhat.com review exemplifies that very problem[8].
Let’s set the record straight with facts that can be independently verified:
I am a well-known, active, and respected cybersecurity professional in Orange County, California. As multiple badges and event records show, I am a participant and speaker within leading industry groups including CISO Exec Net, Coalition, and the CyberRisk Collaborative—organizations that vet their members thoroughly and only feature legitimate professionals.
- I have delivered major talks and educational seminars on cybersecurity, including direct sessions for top insurance companies, who seek my expertise and value my insights for strengthening their security posture.
- I regularly share the stage with industry leaders and am trusted to represent GRYHAT Cybersecurity LLC at high-profile panels and invitation-only gatherings.
- My sessions are attended by peers, debated, and praised in real time—unlike the unsubstantiated narratives published by Scam Detector about gryhat.com.
The quality and integrity of my work is clearly and repeatedly referenced by real clients and fellow professionals. For example:
“Andy, has always been a joy to work with on any project! I strongly recommend anyone looking for a hard but smart working individual, look no further… Andy is not only versed in media arts but can develop a product line from start to finish.”
— Joe Santana, Print Prodigy Media Management“Andy gets the job done! Any projects we worked on, he was the first to complete his tasks. I highly recommend Andy Vaca if you need to get a project completed, under budget and on time!”
— Tom Daley, President & CEO“Andy always sees the big picture, while habitually tidying up the details for his clients at every turn… When Andy made the decision to leave one company, we (like most of his clients) followed Andy to his new company so quickly — he didn’t even have to ask. Andy personally drove 500 miles to get a last-minute product delivered to us by dawn. He has saved us from countless delays and costly mis-prints by proofing and correcting files above and beyond expectations…”
— Tom Davidson, Product Manager
Notably absent from Scam Detector’s gryhat.com review is any engagement with actual clients or real evidence—no one cited, no project named, no firsthand story—just a computer analyzing arbitrary “risk factors” and casting doubt without grounds[8].
If Scam Detector or anyone else had an honest question or concern about the legitimacy of gryhat.com or my professional reputation, they could have reached out directly or attended any number of industry events where my colleagues and I are available to discuss our work in person. Instead, they chose to publish an “analysis” so vague it could be aimed at any competitor or targeted business—a tactic that damages good reputations without accountability.
Gryhat.com is openly operated by a credentialed expert with an extensive, public track record. Let’s see the same transparency from Scam Detector and hold their content to the standards they claim to enforce: cite real evidence, talk to real people, and base reviews on facts, not fear.
If anyone wishes to verify my credentials, industry standing, or talk with current/past clients, I welcome the opportunity.
And perhaps before posting sweeping, unsupported reviews on gryhat.com, Scam Detector should look in the mirror and consider how damaging it is when someone talks “about” you, not “with” you—and gets nearly every detail wrong[8].
