Ha! ... quick turn around by Fortune, http://fortune.com/2016/06/18/palantir-hack-buzzfeed/ http://fortune.com/2016/06/18/palantir-hack-buzzfeed/
Bizarre to watch a company move like that ... a bit unnerving in an Enders-Game sort of way. Information manipulation, and suddenly you wonder who's wagging the dog.
- argonaut 10y agoYou haven't actually commented on the actual content of the Buzzfeed article or the Fortune article, but instead have decided to go the route of putting forth FUD about sockpuppets and media manipulation.

- argonaut 10y agoHow do you know Buzzfeed's source isn't a competitor with an axe to grind? You don't. So this almost-unfalsifiable FUD is useless.

- meowface 10y agoBefore I read the Fortune article, their remarks were pretty much my initial reaction to the article. Any company that hires sufficiently good pentesters is going to get breached, even an infosec company. I would bet NSA probably does pretty poorly, even to this day, on their annual pentests. This isn't really news. A company that successfully fends off multiple independent pentests would be news. I've worked for a company that actually did quite well on one pentest, but the testers were pretty terrible.
