out of curiosity, do you work at PayPal or is the first paragraph all assumptions?
One would have thought Wells Fargo had a talented team of people to catch their millions of fake accounts they made, but alas it went on for a decade. I will always assume companies have their backs turned to security, until proven otherwise, regardless of size or perceived risk.
- tptacek 7y agoFirst, I do not work at Paypal, and have never worked at Paypal. Second, if I did, it would be none of your business. Third, comments like these are forbidden by the site guidelines, which demand that you not make accusations of astroturfing simply because you disagree with a comment.
- pvg 7y agoCharitably interpreted, it's 'just' an accusation you can't possibly know the quality of PayPal's security team since you don't work there and lack the necessary insider knowledge. Calling you a naïf, not a shill!
- tptacek 7y agoYou're right. For clarity's sake: anyone with a significant number of acquaintances in SFBA appsec knows people working appsec at Paypal or their subsidiaries.
- MiroF 7y agoI think there is a subtle but real difference between claiming astroturfing versus claiming conflict of interest.
- mtnGoat 7y agoexactly. FWIW. I wasn't claiming either, I was questioning source of knowledge, as the claim seemed to be factually informed, but are in fact just the posters opinion on the matter.
- mtnGoat 7y agoi am not assuming anything nor making any accusations. I am simply inquiring as to the source of the claim made. i guess, we will establish that its just the opinion of the poster.
