Constant aqusitions and buyouts, so common for Symc. BTW it is now pretty much BlieCoat after recent mega-acqusition and divesture of Veritas and Verisign. It will be tough on employees as they will be managed for profit v.s. cost...
We know as much as everyone else right now. The higher ups are not commenting on it at all.

Wasn’t Proofpoint in the rumors as well?

We don’t know anything more than anyone else. But my personal gut feeling says company is on the block and is likely being marketed to more than one party. Whether a deal is imminent is anyone’s guess though.
I think that it's happening as well, just have to wait and see at this point.
Any further updates about this news?
...why is Facebook included in this post?
Facebook is trying to buy a cybersecurity company by end of this year according to reports a month ago.
No. Facebook doesn't want a cybersecurity company.
