Paying Hacker Extortion
An anonymous reader writes "A friend works as CIO at a medium sized publicly traded company. The company was contacted by a hacking group and told to pay $100,000 to prevent their company from being hacked/attacked. They actually paid the extortion (told authorities after). The authorities said the company could be charged with supporting Terrorists. Seeing that most publicly known hacks are costing companies this size nearly a million dollars, Is this supporting terrorists or supporting stockholders?"
The expression is "one AND the same."
"One in the same" is phonetically similar but semantically stupid and outright incorrect.
I know this comment is off topic and I am a grammar Nazi and so on. Be that as it may, using language stupidly like this does NOT evolve it. People like you dumb our language down and make it worse for everyone.
On second thought, please continue to be thoughtless and use expressions incorrectly like this. Do so on your resume and cover letter, so I won't ever make the mistake of hiring someone as cognitively sloppy as you.
