- hellotomyrars 6y agoYes. That is what I said in my post. They mentioned the denials, and then in the next paragraph went on to say it was bigger than they'd previously reported. They didn't at any point address the broad degree of skepticism that exists among security researchers. This is a story which was met with a pretty wide swath of knowledgeable and credentialed people (much like the primarily alleged sources in the article) who pushed back on it, let alone the alleged targets. In fact, one of the few named sources from the original article (Joe Fitzpatrick) made statements after the publication of the article against his contributions to the piece after its publication. Again, I don't doubt for a second that these types of attacks happen/exist but I have a hard time accepting the `facts` as they are presented in this case and I think that is how a lot of people feel.
