- tyingq 10y agoThey do say that the victims "regularly conducted multimillion-dollar transactions" with the computer hardware company that was being impersonated. That does narrow it down to companies in those spaces that run on their own metal, and significant amounts of it.
- ryanmarsh 10y agoMultimillion could be 2 or 10 and as far as running your own metal that's not really a big purchase relative to your average Fortune 100's IT budget.
- tyingq 10y agoThe space, though, is more narrow than that. Victim 2, for example, is specifically a social media company. Can't be that many social media companies, headquartered in the US, running their own metal, with more than one multi-million dollar invoice for it in a 2 year period. How many could that be? I can only think of 3 or 4 contenders.
