From
Doomsday
II: The Massive Microsoft Email Data Breach Sequel:
Much of the American reporting on this sequel Microsoft
email doomsday data breach — the media missed the
first one — was based on a Bloomberg News article by
William Turton and Jordan Robertson. Foolishly, the article
quotes Alex Stamos as their cybersecurity expert. Alex Stamos was
(Mar 2014 – Jun 2015) CISO of Yahoo during their two
massive data breaches (late 2014) that compromised 500
million and 1 billion user accounts. Then Stamos was (Jun
2015 – Aug 2018) CISO of Facebook during its massive
data breach (Jul 2017 – Aug 2018) that compromised 50
million user accounts. See Yahoo-Then-Facebook
CISO Alex Stamos Allows Yet Another Massive Data
Breach.
Jordan Robertson is the
cybersecurity reporter for Bloomberg but only has a
bachelor's in journalism from a low-ranked California
college and a master's in filmmaking from "No Free Speech"
University of California, Berkeley. He plays second fiddle
to article first author William Turton, who may not even be
old enough to have gone to college.
William Turton
was hailed as a tech reporter wunderkind, particularly about
cybersecurity, when just a few years ago as a teenager he
was writing about video game playing and "broke" a story
about "hackers" briefly taking down the Sony PlayStation and
Microsoft Xbox Live networks, as part of a marketing scheme.
The IT incompetent media is
full of IT incompetent older people who think young people
must inherently be IT experts, which is exactly wrong since
becoming an IT expert takes years of study at good
universities and years of IT experience. So now a
leading national news source, Bloomberg, is letting a
foolish kid write influential stories about national
security that could lead to war.
If this sequel wasn't such a real tragedy, it would indeed
be a comedy.
