schestowitz | "Even publishing in xxxxxxxxxxx is dicey because that narrows the world down to a few thousand people, a fraction of who live in the US, and maybe a few work in xxxxxxxx, and only one works in a xxxxxxxxxx that had a malware attack recently. The bad guys will know, we just have to find a way of getting details out without the spooks being able to point the finger convincingly. I have to wonder if they would be bold enough at this | May 20 10:51 |
schestowitz | point to say something like, "This guy works here and is one of the few people on Earth that's ever xxxxxxxxxxxxx for this xxxxxxxxxxxxx. We keep an eye on him and think he's spilling the beans, you should get rid of him." | May 20 10:51 |
