Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: 0506 exploits

👉 The word "exploits" is not to be confused with "exposures," which means revealing something that might harm others, often for personal gain.

Imagine you're a detective trying to catch a thief who's been stealing from a local bank. You have the tools and resources to capture him or her, but there’s a big question mark about the details of his or her actions. Now, if your team member took some "exploits" of a client's data that they knew were illegal, how would you feel? Would you be pleased? Disappointed? Confused? If someone used their expertise and resources to uncover more information about a competitor’s business secrets, what kind of "exploits" might that involve? A hint might be: "You have the tools, but it's unclear how much more they can dig." So, while "exploits" is not typically associated with revealing personal details, you would definitely question someone who took your team member to their limits on information sharing.
