Is it bad to say you’re interviewing with a competitor that poached about 30 of their bankers recently?

Lucky to be able to have multiple interview for FT. I have been in the process for one firm that took a bunch of another firm’s workers in the last 3 years. I happen to have an interview with that poached firm. If they ask who I’m interviewing with, would it be taboo to mention that first firm?
