Just like everybody else.

I work for a company in the cyber-crime / cyber-security space. We piss off criminals. We get attacked. We'll still never see half the shit the USG does, we'll still never see half the shit a Google or Facebook does. Stop pretending your "Facebook for Cats" company is going to experience the same level of threat. It's foolish and sounds egotistical to pretend someone cares that fucking much.

I only meant that the private sector (eg. GOOG, FB, etc.) are constantly dealing with APTs as well, it isn't just the USG.

That said, I think you're on to something there, and I am immediately launching[1] my new Facebook-for-Cats venture! Wish me luck!

[0] Nah...[2]

[1] Tentatively named either FurrBook or PurrBook[0]

[2] Well, maybe... [0]
