Security employees at the e - commerce company were alerted to the possibility of the logic bomb but hadn't yet located it.

3. Company Techs had been experiencing fierce competition with a rival firm. The rival firm was consistently offering new software products to customers ahead of company Techs and the software was almost identical to Company Techs' pre - release products Company Techs' network was highly secure but managers suspected that an internal employee was sharing confidential development plans and code.
