Unfortunately, FireEye did not have the resources to carry out its plan and was forced to abandon it, but not before seeking help from other companies and organizations with deeper pockets. File this one under opportunity, lost. Grrrrr :( I'm pretty sure they could have raised enough by donations. I'm sure HN people would have donated. And the snubbing by VeriSign and Microsoft... the companies that own registrars and have billions in revenue?!? Come on! Did they reach the right people at these companies? Who said no to them? Must have been a breakup in communication somewhere.
