The article is wrong on timing because they choose to ignore the herd of elephant in the room. The world has been getting hacked since before 2013 by the NSA and related parties. They wanted to keep it hackable (by them, but an open door is open for everyone), not to fix what was wrong (even they asked/forced companies to include backdoors, unsafe encryption and so on). They developed (directly, or hired third party companies) software to hack it even more, and not just systems but people too. They created an entire market of malware/exploit/zero days, where was pretty profitable to find zero days and sell/hoard them instead of warning the world. Is not amazing that in this scenario of planned/designed insecurity at every level even they get hacked/intruded/disclosed, and not just not to get information but the software weapons they were already using too. Is like the department of health has been developing all the latest years new flu strains, are weaponizing them, and somewhat, you get sick, they get sick, everybody else get sick and some of the people you know dies. Would you complain about the last person that transmitted you the disease, the vaccine makers that run behind the (designed) diseases and even are forbidden/delayed to make a cure for them, or the root cause of it all? Instead of asking why we don't do more to stop it, ask yourself why we did (and keep doing) so much to make it happen.
