No, they wouldn't. Maybe 20 years ago when they were just ramping up - small tech organizations tend to do "clever" stuff like that. But the stakes for a $40b company are so high that they would not, ever. Criminal prosecution would result, and lawsuits by the attacked organization would clean out that cash horde in a minute.
