- zmmz 16y agoExactly, WikiLeaks is not going to publish a corporation's IP. What it would publish is information revealing dirty practices. The Enron scandal is something that the wikileaks would be interested in publishing. They would not publish Intel's chip designs. I also work in the financial field (for a company that has more public responsibility than your average), and we have a whistle-blower hotline internally. If you see any "dirty practice" you are encouraged to report it ASAP. As the CEO, I can only encourage you to create this procedure in your company.
