Why are we taking McAfee's word on what happened again? They never claim to have directly investigated Google, and from what I can tell Google isn't their client. They are purely extrapolating based on other companies they work with.
This just sounds like they are trying to scare everyone about what happened to Google so that they can sell them McAfee Security, which as we all know will fix all your problems.
- shpxnvz 17y agoYeah, it's clearly said that McAfee "provided information to Google" which sure doesn't sound like any direct involvement with their investigation. In addition, from a quick scan of their linked PDF, I don't think McAfee mentioned Google at all - which makes it look more like the Wired writer just plastered "Google" all over the article to make it a bigger headline. I'd blame Wired here more than McAfee.
- Chronos 17y agoThe article is pretty ridiculous. Why would a company like Google run their Perforce servers under Windows?
