That's a very strong statement, which a sizeable percentage of Hacker News readers could probably disprove in minutes.
- eitland 11y agoLet's see if that happens. I guess a few hundred people are already looking for something, either as a claim to fame or just because they are bored. Personally I but my $0.1 bet on incompetence. Which is of course bad enough but not superfish-league.
- simonh 11y agoGood point. A lot of parallels are being drawn with Superfish, but the Dell issue appears at first look to be just incompetence. Further investigation might finger Dell for more than that, but it's clear that Lenovo/Superfish was intentional subversion of customer privacy and security in full knowledge of exactly what they were doing and what the consequences were for customers.
