I don’t get this?

Sure the other failure mentioned in the article sounds serious, but not disclosing you had a Grindr account years ago? How is that at all important?

Well, the article didn’t publish the pictures so we can’t really tell. But in general, “pictures of a sexual nature” is not something you want your security chief to have ‘out there’ such that they could be compromised.

Like a pee tape, for example.

If he doesn't give a flying fuck about it, there isn't any option for blackmail.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well, that’s certainly one way to look at it.

I guess he didn't disclose it in a security review, so he failed to execute the "fly your freak flag high" part.
