Summary: The Sirius ‘Open Source’ status quo is shaken further by admissions from LastPass itself that it had suffered a major security breach, vindicating me after disputes with deeply misguided management, mesmerised by buzzwords and fashionable hype waves
UNDER the guise of “cost-savings” (which was a lie, no money was saved in the long run) Sirius was outsourcing almost everything, in effect replacing Free/libre software with proprietary software. The surveillance and security aspects are rearing their ugly head again and nobody wants to accept responsibility for it. Instead it’s all cover-up.
The video above covers about half a dozen blog posts — the very latest writings on the matter. We weren’t planning to do this on Christmas Eve, but LastPass intentionally waited until the holidays before delivering the bombshell. It hoped not many people would cover this and, in turn, not many people would become aware.
