Wait, so this idiot was trying to sell information to the Israeli government from Akamai?

There is no information that Israel could possibly want that Akamai wouldn't be more than happy to simply hand over, I'm fairly certain. Given how many people who work at that company are Israeli citizens ...

That's not necessarily true. There are, I'm guessing, plenty of contracts Akamai has with the U.S. government for content delivery (the military comes to mind) that are not public knowledge and probably require some level of security clearance.

Of course, I'm just guessing here, but would you really be surprised if this were true?

I suppose things could have changed since I left, but they weren't really rigged for that sort of thing when I was there, and I was in two groups who would have been very close to that sort of thing.
