If you’re anything like me and like to keep up on the industry, you’ve no doubt been overloaded with news on the apparently epic Adobe hack. As some of you may no doubt point out I’m no apologist for companies who fail to take security seriously, and I’ve made my share of pokes and jokes at Adobe’s expense over the years. There is, however, a line I hold myself and others who wish to be known as professionals to. That line is personal hit-pieces where you’re targeting a particular individual for the sins of the collective. This is commonly known as bulls***.
That being said, I took serious offense when I saw the original version of this post (I wish I had taken a screen capture, but it was quite distasteful) from Richi Jennings on Computerworld. When I read the original which basically sought to crucify Brad Arkin for Adobe being hacked I got upset. So upset that I took to Twitter and let Richi know it, and I can’t say I was too polite either… After a few others laid into the author, the post was dramatically changed, the picture of Brad with the overlay “Fire Me” came down, and there was an apology. Of course, if you want to see the sorts of trolls that apparently read that column, look no further than the comments…yikes.
