Why be terrified? If IBM is as good as they claim regarding security,
they should welcome looky-loos with secret cameras in their eyeglasses.
"IBM does not provide government access to client data or back doors

Positively terrifying. I know large companies often get to review unthinkable
source code, because of the risks this article states. But a foreign

and they don’t actually get to keep a copy. But still, stealing IP would be
the one bad outcome - finding ugly undisclosed vulnerabilities quite another.
