I worked for the "multinational" for two years after the acquisition and I'm curious about NSA's evil influence too. Tell us more, Zigurd? Seriously: just a theory about what could have been happening would be great.
RSA isn't in remotely the same space as Matasano, nor would it be "one of the largest" if it were in that space.
As I rock back and forth in my chair, silently repeat the serenity prayer, and try to remain charitable; what sort of work do you think Matasano (or NCC, Accuvant, or VerizonBusiness, my former employer) does?
I'd love to hear what you think the NSA might have persuaded us to do?
