The commute time from SF to Cupertino is certainly not constant.

This feels unsustainable.

Whether that means they didn’t have exploits for other platforms as part of this attack or that we just didn’t succeed in determining them is unknown.

TAG has certainly found and reported exploits in other platforms many times so it is not a matter of not caring.

The junior person knows more about the details and the senior person should understand more about the strategy so both have a chance to learn from each other and to each walk away with a better overall perspective.

As a skip level manager myself it's also seems like a better use of everyones time than me answering generic questions.

Lets say you've done your research and you know the company pays $160k-$200k for this position and you've done interviews and they want to hire you.

They want a number from you of expectations.

Sure, saying $160k is dumb and you've lost out. Refusing to say anything might get you $180k.

But if you are confident in your knowledge of the ranges putting out $240k as your starting number may be a good strategy. Sure if you got it wrong they might have offered you more but unlikely. But more likely the recruiter is now in the position to try and negotiate you down to their salary range vs you having to negotiate them up.

All of this is somewhat situation dependent but my point is that absolutist advice on never be the first to name a number is not always correct.

There's certainly the risk of lowballing yourself if you don't understand your market worth but there's also the opportunity to anchor the starting point of the negotiation.

Learning the strategies for successful negotiations is a skill a recommend everyone to look into. Skills in this area can have a very high payoff in your professional and personal life.

The most important point is that this indicates signs of targeting not compromise. Also,like all systems there are false positives especially for security researchers and the similar types but we hope it is a useful indicator to reassess your security posture.
