You're insinuating there are groups inside major companies setup with the express purpose of discovering and releasing exploits against competitive products?

Since plenty of companies do this, I'm sure it would be easy for you to show evidence of a few examples.

It would in fact be easy to do that, but I'm not going to.

You are free to believe I am making things up about vulnerability research, which I've been doing professionally since 1995.

(Note that I didn't assert it; I insinuated it.)

Since the comment to which you're replying uses the word "insinuating" I deduce that originally it said "asserting" but after your comment it was edited by staunch without a note to say so. Yes?

He's just crazy! Nah, I did change it, and I should have noted it, my bad.
