This piece is oddly copy-edited. Paragraph 7 refers to "the infamous hacker group" and paragraph 5 "the cyber-criminal gang", but both of these expressions are serving as a pronoun reference to a previously named group. Then you look up to see if you missed the actual name of the hacking group, or even a link to the post, and... nope!
Then below the headline "The New Normal", a second group is introduced as "another ransomware group". I assume "another ransomware group" is the group subsequently referred to as "the relatively new gang". Also, relative to whom or what?
I am assuming the author of the piece originally named the groups or provided the detail you'd expect to have it make sense. Then editorial/legal spiked the names but did not copy-edit the rest of the piece to flow around the changes? I mention this because the article also weirdly edits around the nature or name of the firm targeted in the first story.
Weird.
- FDSGSG 6y ago>editorial/legal spiked the names That would be bizarre too. You can name Al-Qaeda and ISIS, but not ransomware groups?
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoIn many jurisdictions or some online discussion boards, one can name by name the already famous, but not the unknown, behind which is certainly a measure of thought.
