HDMI Firewall
not when the alternative is "hey disgruntled employee, i'll pay you 25k for these files" is the low hanging fruit

This is only low-hanging fruit if the company/engineer in question makes HDMI firmware.

I believe they meant the employee of the company you’re trying to hack, not a TV/laptop maker.

Yes, I know. The people best positioned to write an HDMI hack are the ones already working with HDMI, not your random webapp developer

No, the original comment meant: pay a disgruntled employee to get what you want instead of developing an HDMI exploit for your target.

the point is there's no sense in spending man-years building an hdmi hack and implementing it by going onsite when you can bribe an employee instead. it's low likelihood
