The language is not very explicit. They allow the reader to interpret thier statement through an implied explicit denial. Great liars if not just plainly unclear.

This whole thing wreaks. Is it fake news? Are the statements from Amazon and Apple expertly crafted to fool people who aren't very good at reading comprehension (most people)?

An "implied explicit denial"? How does that work? Can you point out how these statements leave open the possibility that they know about this attack?

See, this is how FUD works. It works.
