In 2003, Genovese's website was the first to release 0day code that exploited the MS03-026 Windows RPC vulnerability, which was later used by unknown hackers to create variants of the W32/Blaster Worm.
[6][7] Reportedly, the data was obtained by social engineering and exploiting a vulnerability in a BEA WebLogic Server database function that allowed an attacker to remotely read or replace any file on a system by feeding it a specially-crafted web request.
The website was also mentioned in news articles, in connection with Fred Durst's[8] sex tape leak which was stolen from his personal email account.
From 2010 until his resignation in 2016, Genovese co-founded, and was a board member of a 501(3)(c) non-profit Hackerspace in Connecticut called NESIT, which he helped the local community by offering free classes on various network security topics, personal internet safety, reverse engineering, embedded electronic projects, 3-D Printing, and design.
In 2015 he was a panelist at DEF CON 23 in Las Vegas for a charity fundraiser to help a fellow hacker who was stricken with terminal cancer.
