What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

...and in all that he still doesn't list which 19 programs were tested. He mentions a few of them but how are we to tell if our own favourite AV software has been tested by these people?

Financially-motivated hackers are using SS7 attacks to break into bank accounts. Well, back to telegrams. No one will hack those. STOP

I looked into this a while back, and actually changed banks because of it.
Now, to log in to my bank account, I have to put my PIN card into a little doohickey, enter my PIN code into the doohickey, and use its back camera to read a 256-colour QR block on the computer screen. The doohickey then calculates a code for me to enter into the web-page.
No personal information at all is transferred during the process, and it'd be a nightmare to crack, even with a man-in-the-middle attack.
So the tech is there, and it's cheap. Nag at your bank until they institute something similar.
Passwords != secure.
Two-factor authentication == asking for trouble.

Well, that's not far away from the system my bank uses. I have to "put my card into a little doohickey" too, then it either reads some data from a flickering computer screen (which usually fails) or I enter manually long blocks of numbers into that little doohickey, and then it calculates a 4digit transaction number which I have to enter into their webpage. It was some 5 years ago when my bank changed to that system.

Well, even with the "added bonus" of typing the awkward blocks, you're still far safer with that. Good choice.

One issue with old and long running code is that most bugs in the code and the runtime had happened and are fixed and some so called stable build is working.
The NASA had some time ago the problem, that the hardware was defect and no spare parts where available. I think they bought some 40 year old machine on ebay. The seller was shocked and thought he is in the crosshair of some conspiracy. 
Never touch a running system

The space shuttle ran on a bunch of 8086's; about 15 years ago they were forced to buy a bunch of old hardware from bulk electronic scrap dealers on fleabay. They only bought them in bulk though, your 30+ year old relic would've been of no interest to them at the time.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Most probably don't. I had to go thru what is called "Lean Training" for Construction several years ago. I then became a Instructor for a short time. The first meeting that we had with the guy that was in charge of the training (who was second in command on site), I told him of a problem where they scheduled 2 groups of workers (or more ) at the same location at the same time and who ever got there first got to work on their part of the project.
(Leaving the rest to stand and wait for a different direction to work)
His reply was "That's Construction"
What ?
Thinking to my self, No that is bad management.
As I said it was a short tour as instructor.

#4: “Is there any part of the company you wish you were able to interact with more?”
I'm thinking to myself "huh?". Maybe I live in an alternative universe, but the people I work with and myself are so slammed with projects, are heads are so far down in the project hole we don't know the weather.
These questions suggest there is another life out there with other employees, getting together, chatting, discussing strategy. I don't know if I am thinking marketing or the alternate universe.
