Leaked Microsoft Dossier on Journalist 165

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday March 28, 2007 @10:28AM from the i-see-you-have-bad-grammar-mr-bond dept.

Ludvig A. Norin writes "Wired journalist Fred Vogelstein blogs about how he accidentally got hold of a dossier on himself produced by Microsoft's PR firm, Waggener Edstrom. While it's not unusual for PR people to create background files on journalists, it's notable that this one leaked, and got commented by Waggener Edstrom's Frank Shaw and Wired Magazine editor in chief Chris Anderson. Makes for an interesting read — there's lots to learn from the inner workings of the Microsoft PR machinery." Someone please send me mine? I bet it's really friendly!

Computer security on such a large scale is very, very difficult to get right. The problem is not that security is difficult to get right. Sometimes it is only a security circus. The motivation is not to improve the security. Another problem is that not everybody that thinks that understands security really do. Is these passports really worth even if they happen to be uncrackable ?
