  • Summary: SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 21, 2016) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) JAY KAPLAN, CO-FOUNDER AND CEO OF SECURITY COMPANY SYNACK, SAYING: "Well, denial of service attacks certainly don't instill confidence. But at the same time they don't necessarily cause data to be vulnerable. Right? We're talking about Web sites going down. We're talking about data not necessarily being able to be accessed. But at the same time, hackers are not able to get access to that data themselves. We're really just limiting the ability to perform normal functions over the internet."
