- saagarjha 4y agoI have never heard of threat actors effectively targeting individual engineers who work on things that are contrary to their (malicious) interests.
- csande17 4y agoDoes this count? https://blog.google/threat-analysis-group/new-campaign-targeting-security-researchers/ https://blog.google/threat-analysis-group/new-campaign-targe... > We hope this post will remind those in the security research community that they are targets to government-backed attackers and should remain vigilant when engaging with individuals they have not previously interacted with.
- saagarjha 4y agoIn reply to what I posted, yes, although it's not quite what I meant. The people who reach out to you if they think you are good are kind of amusing, especially if you know you're not that good :) But beyond that I haven't seen much. If you live in most countries you're not really concerned that some foreign agent is going to show up at your door and ask for you to stop. Or at least I haven't heard about it nor does anyone really seem to care about it. Perhaps it does happen and gets silently brushed under the rug, but I would think that this kind of thing would leak out…
