I completely disagree. The article makes an extremely strong case that the press release was designed to mislead people into downplaying both the severity of the situation, and the depth of incompetence at LastPass (both of which are matters of considerable importance for all current and prospective LastPass customers.) Attempting to mislead people is considerably more serious than mere incompetence.
The best (if not only) way to make these points is to analyze the PR statement itself. Any paraphrasing or generalization would just give LastPass an opportunity to reply with more non-sequiturs.
Dissembling circumlocution and omission is a feature of PR communication, designed to mislead anyone who is not intimately familiar with all the details. I would like to se more analysis of this sort.

The author here does know better than the people running LastPass.
