A colleague was busy telling Sneak about Marc Maiffret, co-founder of digital security firm eEye and, it appears, the kind of guy who shuns collar and tie in favour of rock-band T-shirts. And green hair. Despite this rough-and-unready look, Sneak was still quite a bit surprised to learn of Maiffret’s expletive-laced job title, evidently designed to make it clear who's in charge. The surprise lasted as long as it took Sneak to remember that this particular colleague tends to drop their aitches. And in fact Maiffret is eEye’s chief hacking officer. And not the chief **cking officer.
Sneak still thinks it sounds a bit suspect when you say it quick...
