Its a press release. No need to get alarmed.

It's not a remediation firm, it's a me-too outfit selling an ad-in clock-fix card.

The "article" was really a company press release (the clue are the words "company press release" on the top of the page), apparently designed in a desperate attempt to clear out his existing inventory of cards.

They name names. Of course, it's a press release but provides some insights.

A 'press release' from a company who sells products related to Y2k remediation or preparedness should be taken with a grain of salt, however a 'press release' from Bill Clinton, John Koskinen, NERC, bankers, etc. is quotable and worthy of headlines.

Why?
