I would imagine Horace is in part referring to the NDS cracking of the Canal Plus encryption - which involved a team of experts, a lot of money, and 6 months with an electron microscope reverse engineering the card a transistor at a time.

But for sure the guys on these forums can break the N3 variation that VM are using. The rest of the world are just stupid amateurs clearly having failed in 2 years to do what these guys have in a couple of months.
