Security FUD Pieces About Very Old News
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
THE VIDEO above responds to very recent FUD against Free software (or "Open Source" as they call it). We saw the same FUD patterns coming from Jim Zemlin's mouth recently, as the Linux Foundation gets paid by Microsoft proxies that promote FUD. The Foundation also works with Mr. Shimel, whose site is still milking the flaw a year after it was patched. "FOSSLife", another Microsoft- and Linux Foundation-connected site, did the same this week. Seeing the pattern yet? If not, follow the money...
"Not only does Microsoft fail to secure its products; when clients have their systems breached Microsoft refuses to step in or actually help (by providing patches) while Microsoft goes out of its way to provide back doors for the NSA and its international affiliates ("Six Eyes")."As an aside, the video also shows more FUD from the truly awful TechRadar [1, 2] (attributing to "Linux" something that is not Linux at all). There are many more examples like these which we put in Daily Links but never do videos about (due to lack of time and capacity). Gross media bias distorts perceptions and helps distract from the very worst culprit: Microsoft (where security is never the goal). Not only does Microsoft fail to secure its products; when clients have their systems breached Microsoft refuses to step in or actually help (by providing patches) while Microsoft goes out of its way to provide back doors for the NSA and its international affiliates ("Six Eyes"). Then they have the audacity to blame "supply chain" (which they control). Don't fall for these scapegoating tactics. They know exactly how they're lying to us. It is intentional. ⬆
