> It's also helped create a boom in the cybersecurity industry, and helped build the hiring pipeline most American and Israeli cybersecurity firms are using in the CEE today.
Huge part of my decades long IT career is linked with Polish IT industry and I have no idea what are you talking about. Poland is most likely spending heavy millions on Israeli and American spyware mostly used to consolidate power internally.
- alephnerd 1y agoPoland isn't the only country in the CEE. Try visiting Czechia sometime. That's where exploit dev is largely consolidated thanks to the OS dev teams MS and RedHat offshored there decades ago plus Avast which developed a OS dev and detections engineering pipeline, and the Israeli FDI boom that started a decade ago to take advantage of that. Poland's scene is mostly Incident Response and SOC, but the Polish talent pool has started climbing up the ladder.

- alephnerd 1y agoI don't know what your point it. Denying the role a number of CEE countries play in detection engineering and exploit development isn't helping if you actually care about reducing this kind of erosion. And I have always used CEE to denote all of Central and Eastern Europe, not just Poland.
- lossolo 1y agoPoland specifically bought Pegasus from Israelis. There is a parliamentary commission investigating this, everything is public so you can google it. Poland does not develop its own exploits or have domestic spyware firms that target journalists. Unless you have proof to the contrary, what you wrote is not true.
