Typical paranoid idiocy by those who are clueless. I once almost got my boss fired. The board of directors and CEO were shopping the company amongst our competitors, and having been through it before, the "insurance inspections", "special guests", and other heavyhanded signs were unmistakeable. When I happened to mention to a co-worker that it looked like we were being shopped and needed to plan an exit strategy, the CEO found out and went ballistic. "Your boss told you this!" Uhhh, no he didn't, you dweeb. "Go ahead, you can tell me. He and I have had it out and it is ok." Look, dude, he didn't tell me. You want me to quit to save his job? Fine.

Somebody or group puts together a specialized virus and then thinks someone in the hacker community can't figure it out, given a little time? Please. The "leak" is in making something like that. Make a 40 ton artillery piece, drag it across a muddy field to set it up and then wonder how somebody could find the tracks and deduce that something heavy passed.
