- MichaelGG 11y agoYeah I always wonder what kind of "black ops" such huge companies/fortunes end up with. Do they really not have this kind of stuff? I have first/second-hand knowledge they have fairly competent internal affairs people that will do things akin to spying to find, say, internal corruption. (i.e. a manager in one part of the corp stealing money.) Seems like for critical things they should have no problem setting up fake companies or handling espionage, etc. What stops them, from, say, paying an employee a large bonus to work for a competitor while feeding back information?
- ultramancool 11y agoDepends who they're willing to sell to obviously. If they're only looking to sell to governmental agencies, it should be easy enough to confirm the people they're selling to are such agents. It's definitely true of a $10k exploit which might be readily available on the market, but for something more unique like this they might be more selective with their buyers to protect future profits.
