Was this a zero risk business proposition before these news stories? If you choose to be a client you accept some risk. And always did. For the 20 years I was actively involved I was keenly aware of risks I was taking. I sought to minimize the risks by doing common sense things like using burner phones, not making a lot of noise, doing business with reputable providers or agencies, and in the case of doorman buildings I stayed at, behaving very discreetly.
Nothing has changed. There have been a few news stories. No clients have been charged. There is nothing from which we can conclude that the risk is higher now than it ever was before. Nothing.
