"A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." -- often attributed to Mark Twain

The original article was so poorly fact checked. It really reflects poorly on Mohamed Hassan (and all his fancy yet meaningless credentials) and M. E. Kabay (who apparently worships Mr Hassan unquestioningly). I will not hold my breath out for a public apology from either of those two, although they are the ones who owe Samsung one.

And the irony is in fact delicious. A security expert finds a virus using an anti-virus scanner tool, and confirms it with some call center employee with the company. What does being a "security expert" have to do with any of that? My 10 year old nephew could have done that!
