“For 25 years, Window has been quietly changing the security industry with her pioneering work at Apple, Mozilla, Fastly, and Intel, among others.

“She basically revolutionized security for the entire internet with her work [at Microsoft],” Katie Moussouris says.

For years, people have been telling me about Window Snyder, saying she never got the credit she deserved for her work at Microsoft and Apple.

Today, we finally reveal how important she was in enabling encryption by default on Macs, iPhones, and iMessage.”

They didn't say they were human. Stop assuming everybody's species.
