- IRIS C2 is a cybersecurity startup offering millions to buy zero-day exploits, run by far-right conspiracy theorists and convicted felons Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman.
- Wohl and Burkman have a history of fake intelligence companies, robocall schemes, and fraud, including spreading false claims about politicians and facing multiple felony charges.
- IRIS C2 claims to hire junior engineers for offensive cybersecurity, targeting government contracts, but lacks transparency and has ties to their deceptive past ventures like LobbyMatic.
- The company's operations are linked to Calvexa Group LLC, with no clear government contracts, and Wohl admits no formal cybersecurity training while boasting about technical expertise.
- Critics and reports expose Wohl and Burkman as charlatans, with concerns about their credibility, funding, and potential harm, despite their claims of regular vulnerability acquisitions.
