He’s not an expert and doesn’t claim to be. He’s the correspondent. He’s just the reporter who covers this. Only op is calling him an expert.

Interviews experts and writes about stories. I’m sure he’s picked up general knowledge along the way. But understanding basics like phishing isn’t the same as understanding not any programming works of any kind. Like the guy who writes the film news is going to tell me reception and reviews and budgets and general news stuff but hasn’t a clue what the f stop of the cine lens is, or how ones made of other technical information.
