Microsoft Kills: An Introduction

"Our products just aren't engineered for security."

--Brian Valentine, Microsoft executive



Microsoft gives NSA backdoor, complains about exploits



Summary: Unfit-for-use Windows, as well as other software from Microsoft, has a high mortal cost (not just monetary cost) that the media fails to properly report on

IT IS no secret that the use of Microsoft Windows causes many fatalities. In our daily links we've included hundreds of links to press articles about hospitals getting stung/hit by ransomware, among other modern menaces that follow a digital compromise (seizure of hospital facilities and equipment). This is killing a lot of Americans every day, but corporate media is not talking about it (not in the correct terms) and it is habitually misplacing blame. The media and NSA-like agencies, for example, couldn't care less about the role of back doors (making systems deliberately less secure); it's more important for them to maintain back doors on almost every computer on the planet (at the expense of people/patients who die from these back doors).



"It serves to show that these incidents aren't even rare anymore. They've become a sort of new 'norm' -- however menacing and disturbing a norm."Sometimes the media mentions what the compromised systems were built on, but usually it's intentionally obscured. In this series we shall explain that it's typically Windows. We shall soon be covering Microsoft's role in killing patients. By all means Microsoft is culpable and it isn't just incompetent and corrupt; people actually die -- sometimes in big numbers -- because of these criminals who work with the state and bribe states; they put their insecure-by-design systems inside hospitals. Gates and his flunkies would of course blame the victims, notably these hospitals.

Before we commence this series, which will be based on inside sources, here are some news clippings of interest (recent news). It serves to show that these incidents aren't even rare anymore. They've become a sort of new 'norm' -- however menacing and disturbing a norm.
