Torvalds attacks IT industry 'security circus'

The maker of Linux was right,

The security industry is a circus, its a joke what its turned into,
its not about security anymore its a media circus, with over hype and
over drive.

Let's cut away with the elitism and become normal people again who
aren't pumped up on steroids everyday to become famous.

The media are to blame, the Robert Lemos's and the others, they write

don't really care what's written as long as its security related they
don't care.

As little research as possible and the most amount of over steer to
