I must have misread something. Doesn't it say "ex" in the title? Regardless of how you feel about the company, Google has some of the brightest minds in the world working for them in any given field. Being one of the top security guys at Google is a pretty strong credential, I don't see why it wouldn't be mentioned forthright. I fail to see how this is Google marketing.


'“He has quite a hacker mind,” says Heather Adkins, Google’s manager of information security, “Of everyone I’ve ever hired at Google, I’d put him in the top one percent of technical capability.”'

The guy must be quite smart.


I hope the "brightest minds" realize the negative sentiment the mere mention of Google is eliciting? I honestly couldn't even read the article because of how they exploited me. At first--it was innovative; now they are just irratitaing.
