This guy appears to have no clue what he is talking about, and is painfully ignorant of both security and technology. I realize that’s not a very substantive comment, but wow. ”The Valhalla system was fully activated in 2009, and my understanding is that all best practices were followed in its design (firewalls, DMZs, encryption, etc.).” ”It is difficult to imagine how an architectural or platform vulnerability would not have been discovered or exploited sooner.” ”It is almost impossible to imagine a scenario in which an external hacker is able to gain access to the primary encryption keys.” This is just painful to read from someone so senior on their soapbox. It’s probably exactly why they got hacked.
