Great business model combination by these companies. The one focuses on hacking, the other on protecting from hacking.
I would think that the different national intelligence agencies would have high interest in infiltrating such companies.
- danny_taco 7y agoIt's quite clever actually, why spend resources to try and infiltrate them - which is not a guarantee, when you can pay a fraction of the cost for their capabilities so you can focus your efforts on other nation states or your own citizens.
- seonsakke 7y agoGood point: I think the cost of buying the service is much lower than the cost of any covert operations or infiltration. (This is a pure guess.)
- bhouston 7y ago> I would think that the different national intelligence agencies would have high interest in infiltrating such companies. I bet in general non-governmental companies, especially with distributed offices, distributed sales teams, are especially easy to hack/infiltrate. But NSO Group's target has never been other countries, it has been focused on helping governments infiltrate their citizen's and opponent's phones, which is a much softer target.
