Alberta Tech did an interview with Malus CEO. Not sure if satire, but the guy act like it isn't.
How did you listen to the dialogue and not conclude it's satire?
"We get a lot of love letters and fan mail. They love us so much they're asking where we sleep at night so they can pay us a visit."
Gotta admire his ability to keep a straight face.
That said, it might be considered performance art more than satire (or maybe not mutually exclusive), since they apparently do actually accept payment for actual jobs. And if you trust anybody with a website like theirs, good luck with whatever code you receive from them.
Is this serious? It reads like sarcasm.
Definitely satire.

Its a parody on how all of the data was stolen in the first place, also I caught some subtle nids to how fucked the maintenance will be.
I have no idea, their website doesn't seem to work very well on my phone, I can't bring up their About Us or Privacy Policy / Terms of Service for some reason either.

It's real. It's very real, they're very transparent about how shady and horrible they are, and their entire process, and why it is technically not illegal, and how aware they are of all of it.
Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society.
Is this satire?
Has to be. No one can be unironically this dense. Right? Right?
Right.
