There's involvement and then there's commitment, as the pig said to the chicken about breakfast.
I'm wondering if merely getting a job programming for a defense company leads to a moral slide into authoritarianism. You know, suppose you're doing sysadmin for HT - is that enough to start warping your view of the world?
Also there's the involvement in actions just short of creating a banking-credential-stealing botnet. False BGP announcements, sniffing for bitcoin credentials and stuff is the domain of Russian and Romanian "Bad Guys". How on earth can an employee justify doing that sort of thing?
