> Ultimately the article strikes me as an article written by someone who has a beef with Marriott, and he ends noting that it's possible that the breach occurred not due to issues with design, but due to the layoffs of Starwood's technical staff.
I agree with your first several points, but a lay-off beef is unlikely since the author hasn’t worked for Starwood in over a decade.
- ec109685 8y agoMarriot replaced his system at Starwood with theirs (and he didn’t agree with that) so his technology was laid off :)
- laurentl 8y agoMore like someone with "CTO of Starwood" on his resume at a time when "Starwood IT hacked" is the main headline. I tend to agree with his conclusion: without further information, it's useless to speculate about how it happened. But his effort to spin an alternative narrative is, at best, self-serving.
