MODERATORS
'On April 25th, on the same blog, the researcher warned Microsoft of some sort of a “dead man switch,” likely referring to a mechanism designed to trigger automatically. The researcher claims it took “forever to deploy,” and “it will take you a lot of time to patch what will be published” if it trips.
“In the off chance, you decide that you want to proceed with whatever funny ideas you have in your head. I'm recommending that you do not do it,” the post reads.'
Just what funny ideas would microsoft have in their head?
Maybe they reach out to Boeing’s….. Human Resources person?
Definitely what the researcher here had in mind it appears.
Those that betray the mighty multinational corporation feel so guilty they take their own lives for it.
