It's a common joke in situations like this. The form I'm familiar with is "the beatings will continue until morale improves". The saying is used to call out self-defeating treatment of a company's employees: that beatings hurt rather than help morale is the point.
It's a riff on the old joke, 'the beatings will continue until morale improves.' It suggests that the problems are caused by poor management practices and has no deeper meaning.
Funny that Krebs refers to Lucky225 as a longtime friend of Adrian Lamo.
I thought it was very well-known that Lucky225 made that story up as a cover to hide the fact that he gained control of Adrian Lamo’s @6 Twitter via a SIM swap hack himself, and also took control of Lamo’s Facebook in order to hijack ownership of the 2600 Magazine group on Facebook.
It's a very awkward thread where Lucky225 accidentally demonstrates that he has indeed taken over Adrian Lamo's email account. Note this doesn't say anything about whether they were or weren't friends. They definitely had overlapping interests.
I knew Adrian but I didn't know Lucky. Adrian was always good at compartmentalizing his relationships. Why don't you think he'd want Lucky to have them?
To be clear, they definitely knew each other, I just don’t believe Adrian wanted Lucky to be custodian of his accounts.
Lucky would criticize Adrian behind his back all the time, and Adrian knew about it. They were rivals at best, and frenemies who barely tolerated each other in public at worst. Lucky’s the kind of guy who’ll toss someone right under the bus as soon as they’re no longer useful to him, but feign friendship until then.
