Well, it’s that time of year. In our first blog post about the “Top 20 Most Braindumped Certification Vendors” we promised that we would keep you abreast of the progress each vendor is making. Unfortunately, the numbers being presented here don’t show there is any progress being made, but I assure you that progress is being made. Although the numbers have risen since we published the first blog post, the numbers here are a combination of newer websites opening up and some of the other websites being shut down. The increase in numbers simply means that more braindump websites have popped up than there have been braindump websites that have been shutdown. If you think about it, it’s much easier to replicate the same information hundreds or even thousands of times over, than it is to shut down just one of these illicit websites. Shutting down these websites is not going to be an overnight task, but it is an approachable task that will require coordination between numerous parties.

Regardless, until we can shutdown all of the braindump websites it is extremely important that all exam candidates understand the repercussions of using these illegal resources. The Certification Vendors already know the information I’ve provided you below, the only difference is they aren’t publicizing it.

About Certification Integrity

Robert Williams is co-founder and CEO of CertGuard. Robert founded CertGuard after an 8-year stint in the U.S Navy, three years of college and five years in IT. While on a quest for more knowledge, Robert decided to work on earning a certification when he noticed the abundance of braindumps and illegal services that plagued the industry. Putting his certifications and further education on hold, Robert decided that it was time for someone to dedicate their time to preventing the spread of these illegal products and services. And CertGuard was born.
