Take a look at the following from the article: (Begin quote) "Rosenberger is not just a random ornery writer with a website and a bone to pick. He's an experienced programmer, a systems administrator and a man of mystery with high-level CIA security clearance. Information about Rosenberger's status with the CIA was confirmed by an inquiry to a government office, and Rosenberger understandably refused to verify or even discuss the issue." (End quote) That bio has too many anomalies to be credible. And the fact that Rosenberger is utterly oblivious to the expense in bandwidth that the CR worm is causing now, makes me doubt that Rosenberger is a competent source for information. AUK bait. H2SO4

" Rosenberger decided the best way to change the NIPC is to become a member. He wants to set up an industry advisory board to work with the NIPC and, of course, he wants a seat on that board." He disagrees with the NIPC policy that encourages mass-media coverage of security events. "He wants to set up an industry advisory board to work with the NIPC and, of course, he wants a seat on that board." Apparently Microsoft doesn't have enough "say" at present. heh. I'm sure Microsoft wishes this crisis were handled more quietly, even tho Microsoft's culpibility has been *way underplayed* already. He's a microsoft mouthpiece, just as owned as any CodeRed infested W2k server. That such a bald puff piece is in Wired lets me know Wired is on the take or being blackmailed too.

Having been the subject of, or direct witness to, a fairly large number of media-covered events and issues over the course of time, I can tell you that it's RARE that they get things entirely right. I can't say quite why. But I've never heard anyone suggest that journalism degrees require any extraordinary brilliance... Sometimes journalists have their angle, or even the whole story, pre-determined (usually by Go- I mean the editor) before they ever seek out their first fact. Practically always they will play up conflicts and concerns to make things seem bigger or badder or more dramatic than they really are. It's got to "make good copy." But all too often they just seem not to have understood what happened or what was said, however brilliantly obvious or clear or simple it may have been. Plain ole thtoopidity. There's an old saw, "Never ascribe to malice that which can be reasonably attributed to mere stupidity." pchelp

Somewhere I saw a quote I loved that went something like: "I'd make this letter shorter but I haven't enough time." pchelp
