Not "some vast conspiracy," just a few individuals with CVs more
relevant to a specific form of political warfare than software
development, behaving exactly as if they had been hand picked by a
hostile actor and given a line of attack to pursue.  The beauty part:
 "Prove it."  ;)

As universal surveillance and profiling technologies mature, so will
tools for analyzing organizations to identify exploitable weaknesses
of key figures, and identifying candidates to recruit or influence to
do that exploitation.  The phrase "CIA Computer Dating & Job Placement
Service" sums up a toolkit that makes formerly difficult, expensive
categories of clandestine operations both more affordable and
reliable, which makes smaller, less important targets accessible.

The technology exists, an eager market wants it, blank checks are
available to make it happen.  Individuals and organizations working
against State and Corporate agendas should adjust their behavior
accordingly.
