It is also pretty rare for some code to be that valuable. It would be about as much work for to figure out hot to leverage stolen code for profit as to just write your own. Data getting stolen on the other hand is much worse.
- realusername 6y agoYes that's also my thoughts, I have all the code of my current employer on my laptop, what would you do with that code if you got your hands into it? Nothing really, there's not a single use case I can think of which could be useful to somebody.
