A security lapse at Kaspersky has exposed a wealth of proprietary
information about the anti-virus provider's products and customers,
according to a blogger, who posted screen shots and other details that
appeared to substantiate the claims.

In a posting made Saturday, the hacker claimed a simple SQL injection
gave access to a database containing "users, activation codes, lists of
bugs, admins, shop, etc." Kaspersky has declined to comment, but two
security experts who reviewed the evidence said the claims appeared
convincing.
