> International Business Machines Corp said it had no evidence that sensitive corporate data had been compromised. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) said it could not comment on the Cloudhopper campaign. > Both IBM and HPE declined to comment on the specific claims made by the sources. > DXC Technology declined to comment, saying in a statement that it does not comment on reports about specific cyber events and hacking groups. > Reuters was unable to confirm the names of other breached technology firms or identify any affected clients. I wonder why the title of the article sounds so certain while it seems none of the claims are confirmed

Because there are no consequences of journalistic malpractice and no one will read retractions or revisions so the parent conglomerates can shape public opinion any way it wants.

> none of the claims are confirmed "None of the claims are confirmed" is probably due to IBM (etc) having an aggressive legal attitude + plenty of lawyers. eg If you try and force them to contact their customers, you're in for a long, drawn out legal process with a less than 100% chance of getting a decent result for their customers.
