I would imagine that the un-named customers
are thinking, wisely and in advance, of the
possibility of this or that disgruntled ass
clown holding data hostage, during what one
can call "prolonged business negotiations."
There seems to be an endless supply of such
ass clowns and a much shorter supply of the
kind of malware situations to which some've
referred so call this risk management, even
if that's a right answer for wrong reasons.
