This is not a “but he is worse”. If the military fucked up, sanction the ppl responsible. If Microsoft fucked up, bring the lawsuit.
We’re not making a contest out of it, why not just condemn both?
I’m just saying it’s hard to be taken seriously for pointing fingers when you can’t even manage your own shit. And really, did Microsoft fuck up, or are they simply a victim of another attack? You literally cannot be aware of all attacks all the time, especially at a company that large. God knows I hate Microsoft and their piss-poor services, and I laugh at the idea of them and cybersecurity used in the same sentence, but I’m also honest enough to know that some things simply can’t be controlled.
I think my biggest problem with this is that the government simply doesn’t care about all the people who have been scammed by that ‘Nigerian Prince’ but the moment someone whispers that their secret emails with their mistress might have been read, suddenly it’s a national issue? Sorry but until you start working FOR the people you represent, I just don’t have any sympathy.
