“Kuvakala ngathi yinto ekwisistim, uyazi, into abayibiza ngokuba isebenza, isebenze kwifowuni ngokwayo. Yayingenakuba yinto ngexesha lokuthunyelwa komyalezo, usendleleni, kuba ibhalwe ngokufihlakeleyo kuWhatsApp. "
UClegg uxelele umamkeli walo mboniso. UClegg wathelekisa i-hack kunye nokuvula i-imeyile ekhohlakeleyo, esithi "Kuza ebomini kuphela xa uyivula."
Ngokwengxelo ye-FTI Consulting, inkampani ephanda ifowuni kaBezos, emva kokuba ifayile yevidiyo ifunyenwe, ifowuni kaBezos yaqala ukuthumela inani elikhulu ngokungaqhelekanga ledatha ephumayo, kuquka nemiyalezo yakhe esondeleyo kunye nentombi uLauren Sanchez.
Ngokutsho kukaClegg, "into" kufuneka ichaphazele inkqubo yokusebenza yefowuni.
"Ngoko ke ukhuseleke itekhnoloji yokubethela ekupheleni ukuya ekupheleni, ngaphandle kokuba unefowuni, okanye unomyalezo kuwo omabini amacala, ayinakuqhekezwa."
