    Amazing that for just 15k they’d be willing to jeopordize so much. Not just info about the US Navy but also putting their selves at risk for long detention and forever in trouble. High risk low reward.

      Yeah. It always shocks me at how cheaply these people offer this information. Even going back to the Cold War, Aldrich Ames was selling info that directly led to peoples’ deaths for just 10s of thousands of dollars. Nowadays people are selling details of billion dollar ships for less than the price of a new car.

      Security is hard
