There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a music degree then going into tech. I have a CS degree but I worked with a lot of talented and smart individuals who either didn't finish college. That is true in general, however in this case we know there was a major breach maybe one of the biggest ones, now all of the sudden having a Music degree _and_ seemingly not having relevant infosec experience doesn't look too good. Had there been no breach, fine, nobody would have noticed and everyone would have given the benefit of the doubt, even say "How nice, they could pivot from a different degree etc." Moreover what looks shady is that they changed their last first name to M. instead Mauldin in LinkedIn profile. Their interviews have been taken down etc. If they had experience and this was just an unfortunate example, they would have stood by and defended and explained what happened. The weasily hiding looks shady like they are hiding their incompetence.
