Former IRS CIO John Reece: “Ultimately this is a security threat” Reece uses the word “this” as a pronoun. Reece is correct: poor IT management allows software and hardware vulnerabilities on the network to exist, but IT management itself is not a vulnerability. He is using the term ‘threat’ correctly as a situation that is a potential danger or menace. But his lazy usage includes ‘this’ as though it were a meaningful subject, which it is not. Legacy systems expose vulnerabilities.”]
