this is a major bombshell. I'd hate to be those guys running zecco. The fact that they coerced an NDA to hide the millions of customer transactions that now have no way of proving were legitimate or not.
I'm pretty sure the author wasn't the only guy looking for vulnerability. I'm pretty certain criminal minded folks would've already used it....with no way of finding out which are real or manipulated.
Which further raises the question, why they would go to extreme length to cover their tracks? They could've easily saved themselves trouble by coming clean but because they've gone such great length to hide it and threaten anyone who tries to expose it makes this a hollywood type story. That just seems so over the top like they are protecting something much bigger.
