I always wondered how the software people who work in places like this live with themselves. Is it some sort of “enough money can make me forget and look myself in the mirror” situation?

I guess it is like the scammers working in call centers and building RAT:s. They surely must have a level of sociopathy greater than the average person.

The money all spends the same. It's not too hard to visualize the type of person who could be coerced into thinking they work for the greater good.

It’s an Israeli company - they probably consider their work a matter of national security and get along just fine with that
