    This company is DOA…worst failure a cyber security company could unleash. More to this story…not a coincidence.

    Too much power for one company. This is a global threat.

    "We're deeply sorry," that should make everything OK, despite the $1000's he's costed companies and individuals. I'm sure he'll still get his 7 figure bonus this year, all tax free.

    Protip: If you hire a company that pushes updates into your critical systems. Make sure that company has an extensive QA department with procedures in place so this does not happen. This company is clearly not it.
