Derrick Clinton - This is a great article - just not original. A well summarized and reworded security prediction article that is taken directly from my article at: https://lnkd.in/eMRP5Y5u While I am honored that Cryptopolitan (and you) have highlighted and reused my material and that this is getting such wide syndicated coverage and trending on MSN and many other top websites globally, you need to give credit (reference) to the original source (my article) - otherwise, it is plagiarism. While we appreciate the attention and are not seeking any compensation or other actions, please update the article immediately to reference the original piece that is clearly the source that is summarized, with a link to the original article at (listed above at Government Technology Magazine.) Something along these lines will be fine: "This article is a summary and based on the article written by Dan Lohrmann at (link). ..." For everyone else: I do encourage you to read Mr. D. Clinton's summary of my much longer annual cyber piece. Of course, my cyber trend piece contains links to all of the top industry reports (and much more), but this is a well done, professional summary of actionable material. He just neglected to link to the original source and reference the substantial effort that went into my annual report. In part 2 of my security prediction report, coming out Sunday, Dec 24, (and already submitted to my editor), I actually predicted that people (possibly using GenAI tools) would start to imitate my security forecast piece next year. Little did I know it would happen so fast this year (already). I guess that prediction already came true :) Thoughts on this anyone?
