sierra_nevada found this Inquirer article, which claims that the popular ZoneAlarm personal firewall secretly sends data to Israeli parent company CheckPoint.

This, of course, leads me to wonder whether Checkpoint Firewall-1 has ever been audited for any malicious behavior....

Wouldn't be in the least bit surprised. The Israeli govt seems to be notably worse than the US in ends-justify-the-means mindset.

And of course, it'd be far from the first time our "friends" in the Mossad have performed an op against the US. (Any takers for Savannah River K reactor, 1968?)
