did their best to bury the lede. they say they were targeted multiple times, but dont say they were breached until the fourth paragraph, something like 40% of the way through - even then the admission is intentionally mentioned vice announced. i understand fireeye is a security company, but pussyfooting is pussyfooting and weasel words are weasel words.
idk, politics is part of the game at the highest level. maybe im not destined for the c-suite.
- PradeetPatel 6y agoAs someone who has done some work in the PR sector, it was established that it's crucial to ensure the correct narrative is delivered. There can be times when the "factually accurate" narrative conflicts with the correct one, there's a reason why most corporations have dedicated resources for engaging with the public. What one normally consider to be "weasel words" are often carefully chosen to polish the truth while alleviating harm to key stakeholders.
- enkid 6y agoEveryone knows they are being targeted. They would have no reason to even put a press release together if they weren't breached. The first three paragraphs are basically "we are under attack" then "it's an advance attack" then "we're investigating the attack." No one implies that how successful the attack was until the first sentence. This doesn't seem like they are minimizing or attempting to cover up the damage.
