Why Apple would need to use ex-NSA workers to stop leaks

Apple (AAPL) is tired of leaks. And according to a report by The Outline's William Turton , the company is employing individuals with experience through the likes of the NSA, FBI and the US military to stop its confidential information from being tomorrow's big headline.

It will be interesting to see if Apple can truly clamp down on leaks and turn its press conferences into the kind of incredibly surprising events they used to be.
