Last week, The Wall Street Journal dropped a bombshell when it reported that Russian government hackers located confidential National Security Agency material improperly stored on an employee's home computer with help from Kaspersky antivirus, which happened to be installed. On Tuesday, The New York Times and The Washington Post provided another shocker: the Russian hackers were caught in the act by spies from Israel, who were burrowed deep inside Kaspersky's corporate network around the time of the theft.

    friendly reminder that national identity in Israel is not built by religion (which they have many shades of), but by anti-semitism. USA, Soviet Russia, Soviet China, and Israel, all of them nations without a proper culture when created, all of them cemented by fear of the enemy, all of them made beacon for the other nations. Welcome to the modern world. Next stop, africa.
