Sounds like someone new is going to find out about the Striesand effect. I didn't glance at the story the first time it came around but I made sure to read it this time

I certainly didn't know who Rajat Khare was before, but it appears billionaire Rajat Khare needs to learn his lesson for trying to keep his hame clean from this "hacks-for-hire" scheme.

Same. I didn’t even know really know about the hack for hire industry either, not that I’m doubting is existence or would have in the past lol. I’m kind of laughing at myself for not even thinking about it. Of course everything is for sale.
