The key here is that the companies named are all sophisticated, and will have better protections than your average small to medium enterprise. Bloomberg’s report describes an attack that is not possible at the companies listed in the article.
I understand there are always two sides to a story and that technology used the right way works as advertised. Is it fair to never underestimate the stupidy of a handful of individuals in any large organisation who take shortcuts once in a while for convenience of use by saving time and forget about it on a Friday afternoon going home that is usually enough to open an otherwise closed point of entry and expose a system , be it software or hardware. They cherry pick clear misconception and lack of understanding in the Bloomberg articles. Fair enough. But saying that someone said something stupid doesn't make the other points less valid.
