linuxsecurity.com: A Step in a Positive Direction

Dave Wreski

Last month and earlier this month we repeatedly - and probably justly - blasted linuxsecurity.com, for it had been posting chatbot spew ("slop") for at least a couple of months, typically coming from Brittany (Zero) Day.

We are pleased to say that judging by this past week's "news" and feeds, linuxsecurity.com has mostly reverted back to real articles, written by real people. Dave Wreski is the main person writing those real articles. He is the founder.

Perhaps Wreski recognised they had a serious reputation problem (who would trust Guardian Digital if it did or still does slop?), so he stepped in to correct it.

We hope that Guardian Digital and linuxsecurity.com will rectify the matter and persist with real articles. The last thing the Web needs right now is more slop or SEO SPAM.
