   TBH i'm not sure... a lot of these guys do just like is done in the security   
   industry... they have their closed groups that everyone is a member of where   
   they share certain data so that all may benefit... there have been known AVs   
   that were just taking other AV's engines and rules, repackaging them and   
   calling them something else... several of those were caught outright... IIRC   
   kaspersky's engine and rules was one of those being used like this...   
      
   reverse industrial espionage? sure, i can see it... it is also known as   
   disinformation and is widely used... those companies that fell for the   
   possible ruses failed to throughly test their offerings... failure to   
   throughly test is an all too common failing in today's IT world... one only   
   need look at m$ to see that with all their security holes, buffer overruns,   
   heap overflows, stack overruns, etc...
