Doug Logan and Cyber Ninja

This might be useful.[1] Why no articles on Logan and on CN? Doug Weller talk 18:48, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Even the media describes them as little-known or unheard of before this audit began. I will redirect Cyber Ninja here. BD2412 T 22:59, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add, there were two groups here. Cyber Ninjas are the ones getting most of the talk. Ben Cotton owns CyFIR and is known for being involved in the discovery of the US OPM breach by china several years ago. Hes more googlable than Cyber Ninjas are (or used to be, rather) Deeply concnerned person (talk) 23:48, 27 September 2021 (UTC) — Deeply concnerned person (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

@Deeply concnerned person According to Office of Personnel Management data breach#Discovery, CyFIR is "a commercial forensic product from a Manassas, Virginia security company CyTech Services". This Maricopa article doesn't mention CyFIR or CyTech Services. rootsmusic (talk) 20:34, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minor correction

“As part of the audit, auditors have been looking for secret watermarks, machine-markings, and bamboo fibers within the ballots.”

Why is this written in the present perfect progressive? The audit has concluded. It should read as: “As part of the audit, auditors looked for secret watermarks, machine-markings, and bamboo fibers within the ballots.” 180.16.205.94 (talk) 04:58, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Good catch. I fixed it. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:21, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It clearly had fallen through the cracks when the wording of the bulk of article was updated to past-tense after the close of the audit. Thanks for having caught that! SecretName101 (talk) 20:21, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
