I'm curious whether there is any evidence that these professional
intercorporate crackers even exist.  Unfortunately, this is one of
these areas (like political assassination) where if it is done right,
there won't be any evidence.

Of course, if they don't exist, they probably will soon -- teenagers
don't stay teenagers forever...
