"Symantec has no reason to believe at this time that the security and functionality of its products, or any customer information, were compromised..."

Yeah, right. Some hackers managed to steal Symantec's source code, but the company says nothing of importance was compromised. If you believe that I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

[EDIT: corrected poor grammar.]


They didn't say "nothing of importance was compromised."

They said that the functionality of their products was not compromised... and if their product is built well enough, this would be a true statement.


"So I'm taking it home to my workshop, my dear. I'll fix it up there, then I'll bring it back here."
