Win an Internet!

Win an Internet!
Here's a fun competition for you all. The person that can spot the most errors in this BBC opinion piece wins an Internet...oh all right, you'll win many Internets.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17032274

Factual errors, stuff that makes no sense, and places where the so-called "professor of cybersecurity" fails to understand the basics of cybersecurity. Points are awarded for unique finds (i.e. don't repeat what someone else has said), and bonus points are awarded if you can explain why the error is an error.

I'll be writing up a full rebuttal of this absurd article on my blog this week, so you don't have much time. Big Grin
