even thgough im Palestinian and these guys are Israeli, should we really be blaming superfish? this company makes software, seams like a bunch of hackers to me. Lenovo is the real culprit here.
Not to mention how reluctant they were to even admit the security issues presented by Superfish installations. They (and Lenovo) repeatedly denied that the injection of a trusted root certificate posed a security threat.
Spin your mistakes however you want in a press release, but don't lie about security vulnerabilities that put users at risk.

More like a bunch of crackers. They produced a nefarious piece of software (which couldn't be used responsibly or in a just way), and it got used in a way that harmed users. Both parties profitted from hostile actions, which then hindered the defense of their userbase.

They deserve their part of the blame. They make a subcategory of software known as "malware". And they're perfectly aware of it (companies making "software" usually don't have to hide from antiviruses).
