Is it just me, or is the childish, mocking tone in the OP simultaneously baffling and totally befitting of the point they're trying to make? I understand that they're frustrated by the repeated submission of automated security vulnerability reports, but blanketing it entirely as "reverse engineering" and responding to it like this is... a strange approach.
Did someone at Oracle actually think that this was the best way to make this point?
- dantiberian 11y agoThe previous post on the blog has a similar tone too https://blogs.oracle.com/maryanndavidson/entry/is_your_shellshocked_poodle_freaked https://blogs.oracle.com/maryanndavidson/entry/is_your_shell...
- syncsynchalt 11y agoThe formatting in that post is... interesting. I'd blame the CMS before the author on that point though.

- kjs3 11y agoYeah, it's very poorly written. I always cringe when some exec thinks "oh, it's just a blog so I don't have to write with the same professionalism and attention to detail that I would in other corporate communications".
- vacri 11y agoWell, it's not even 'just a blog', it's a blog hosted by oracle.com about the author's employment at same. The standard of professionalism should be higher given the direct link, methinks. If it were a personal blog on a personal topic, it wouldn't matter as much.
- kjs3 11y agoI think if recent history is any guide, a C-level who claims "you can't hold me accountable for stupid shit I say on my personal blog" isn't going to be one much longer.
