Daniel Micay on Twitter: "@halvarflake Sounds like a good way to turn this into a hot sector for startups and VC investment. Governments have a tendency to pay exorbitant prices to established incumbents. Wiping out NSO may not lead to the desired result of exploit prices being higher. In the very short term? Sure." / Twitter

Come to think of it: Given that AAPL made 21bn in profit last quarter, and GOOG around 18bn, it's likely that they could jointly buy NSO for ~2 days of combined profits. So - if y'all "take your customers security seriously" - can you quantify that in dollars? How seriously?

So NSO's private equity owners are in disarray and their holdings are getting liquidated. That means NSO is likely for sale at a lower price than usual. Anyone have a few hundred million in spare cash lying around?
