This person has not worked at Starwood in 12 years. Their qualifications for making any kind of insightful analysis are basically nil at this point. As if this weren't weren't absurd enough he goes on to make the following laughable statements:

>"It is almost impossible to imagine a scenario in which an external hacker is able to gain access to the primary encryption keys."

>"The fact is, if we accept Marriott’s statement that the breach began in 2014, the system would already have been operating securely for five years."

>"Israel del Rio is executive technology consultant and CTO at Quilmach."

As someone who has family affected by this breach it's upsetting to see to see this individual using this incident for their own self-promotion. However at least his new company Quilmach now knows he is completely clueless about technology. So I guess he did everyone a favor here. Israel del Rio - Executive Idiot.
