Summary: New example of media bias which completely omits Windows and spares Microsoft as that may lead to bad publicity
The VENOM€® hype campaign is still occupying headlines, serving to distract from Microsoft's ~50 vulnerabilities which were disclosed on Tuesday and hardly received any media attention.
We recently
complained that the ToryGraph advertised Microsoft and deleted Netscape from history, thereby hiding Microsoft's criminal shame.
A reader has just told us that the ToryGraph fails to
call out Windows when there is negative news. There is Windows ransomware again, but
Windows not even named. There is no brand, no name, no logo, etc.
Microsoft Windows does not need to be infected to demand ransom,
Microsoft does the job itself and has done exactly that (demanded ransom) since the first of the Vista series (before 7, 8, and 10). Microsoft no longer thinks it can convince people to pay for Windows, so this strategy is seemingly being dropped.
