The world of IT Sneakery can be a dangerous one sometimes. A sinister and murky land where paranoia reigns and no one is safe. There are certain people you do not want to cross, especially in the realm of cyber security, where the line between good and evil is constantly shifting.

Alright, maybe it’s not quite that nefarious. Although, according to the Guardian newspaper, it could be. The thinking man’s Independent last week hilariously referred to Eugene Kaspersky, founder of Russian anti-virus firm Kaspersky Lab, as a former lieutenant in the KGB. Wow, nice work guys. For the record, Sneak has it on good authority that Symantec chief John Thompson was a card carrying member of the CIA before a sniper’s bullet forced early retirement. No, not really; if only IT security actually was that exciting.
