To his credit, he never claims to be a hands-on researcher who disassembles and analyzes malware himself. I guess that's why I scratch my head when people point to his work as substantial. He has no skin in the game, no hands on technical experience, and just reblogs more technical articles from actual experts. His only real experience is getting personally hacked and hijacked.
Also, to clarify I never questioned his journalistic integrity. I just think he's a mediocre writer. It's his style that I, personally, don't like. One thing he does that I can't wrap my head around is writing about himself in the third person. He uses phrases like "...this author..." in reference to himself. Most authors would not be injecting themselves into a journalistic piece in the first place, but to do it with such bravado is awkward for the reader. Am I supposed to be impressed that you operate a WordPress blog?
