Why brutal? Reads very reasonable to me, nothing personal and nothing about someone or feelings everything about the entity and its obligations.
As Wayne points out later in the thread, it's because those who are paying attention already know the answers but the questions are specifically designed to both confirm that eMudhra actually understands what they've done wrong and are willing to publicly acknowledge it, which is a critical factor in how an incident will affect trust going forward.
Obviously in this case eMudhra has decided they don't want the responsibility anymore which I actually respect to some extent.
It's brutal the way reading lawyer interrogatory questions is brutal. Facts, details, and specific data that hold people accountable. The language is also in legitimate government probes and incident response reports.
I'd like to say it's how journalism works as well, but that ship sailed decades ago.
Reasonably brutal.
This is all a serious matter of course, but for some reason this comment takes me back to the Princess Bride scene where Miracle Max is explaining the difference between "mostly dead" and "all dead".
