There's no other option when someone on the same research team later sends them 4 diffs, 3 of which have security holes, than to assume they're still doing research in the same area.

This is what happens when you do a social experiment without at least informing someone in the organization beforehand. There's no way to verify whether it was well intentioned diffs or not. So you must assume it's not.




Its not someone on the same team. Its someone working underneath one of the research members- a grad student who likely had no knowledge of what his supervisor did.
