Misinformation only emboldens hacker groups into targeting easier prey for better publicity

THERE’S that old saying, about no matter how tight your mosquito net is, one always gets through the mesh.
 
It is stuff like this that keeps information security professionals up at night: No matter how secure a system is, a skilful enough hacker with the time and resources on hand, will generally be able to break through. The point, some would say, is to make it not worth his or her while, so that the hacker would go on and pick on less troublesome targets.
 
No defence in 100% impenetrable, so I can sympathise with organisations that are the victims of hacking attacks. However, what I find hard to sympathise with is obfuscation or a reluctance to disclose information, in misguided attempts to evade responsibility and accountability, or in the mistaken belief that if they don’t say anything, the press and the public would soon forget about it and move on.
