- port11 11mo agoYou think they're downplaying the value? Why, if it actually lowers the perceived capabilities of NSO?
- yieldcrv 11mo agoYes? Its more beneficial to report the amount for taxes, how much you wind up paying is a separate matter, but you need to report it to create the deductions
- bastard_op 11mo agoDo you think they report income on when Saudi Arabia pays them for Apple 0-days every time someone pisses of MBS there? I bet they filed taxes on what they or others like them got for Jamal Khashoggi or other journalists they helped take out. Apple pays 2m for 0-days now, but I bet kings pay better yet. History has documented what sort of player they are, I suppose it says something of the times that they still operate/proliferate with impunity.
- yieldcrv 11mo agoYes I believe they report and pay their taxes Software exploits are not munitions and are not controlled, they are not illegal to find, they are illegal to use, hence why there is a market for selling them to sovereigns who have immunity from criminal liability Shifting liability until it reaches the end user who has no liability or takes the risk
