Some comments on Wired are hilarious :
# Tired of hearing you cry about getting hacked dude. Get over it. #
#This guy is the laughing stock of our organization, he's almost achieved meme status. This guy is a "technical" writer at Wired for god sakes. A magazine I've been reading since almost Issue 1.
He's comes off as if he's been traumatized by the experience, like he's survived some sort of violent crime. It's an insult and he just keeps milking this experience over and over again.
I've been working in IT Security for almost a decade, his experience is trivial compared to some of the incidents I've worked and seen.
Maybe he's just milking his tale as link bait, who knows, but I'm tired of hearing him whine.
Grow a pair and move on.#
#"Tech writers" that don't backup or protect their data obviously chose the wrong career. Honan is a bigger joke than Wired has become.#
- aes256 14y agoThese comments summarize my thoughts rather eloquently. Clicked through to the article expecting something interesting, left almost immediately upon realizing it was just Mat Honan milking his hacking once again.
- hmahncke 14y agoLosing every photo of your daughter from her birth to 18 months old is traumatizing. Yes, of course he should have backed it up. Of course it's less traumatizing than surviving a violent crime. It's still traumatizing.
