Media

The media section will no longer be updated due to several factors. In the years since this page was originally created, the number of newspaper, magazine, and web-based articles (as well as television reports) regarding computer and network security have greatly increased. Many of these reports have been saturated with the misuse of words associated with computer security. It would literally be a full-time job to read, watch, analyze, debunk (if needed), and post pieces that have become overly repetitive, overly dramatic, and overly liberal with the use of the words "hacked" or "hacker". When reading or watching recent media reports about security, ask yourself if those same reports could be considered fair and accurate in all respects.

Articles are sorted by publication, then journalist and finally by date. For the errata, the article will be printed, with comments in red text (in brackets), followed by any general observations about the article. Original article links may be dead, but are kept for reference. Accuracy and integrity in journalism must be checked and held at high standards. There is no excuse for anything less.

In the past, a handful of journalists or other bodies have debunked articles in their own writing. Kudos to these journalists for stepping up to the plate and speaking out against the lies.
