Breach of trust

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....

Damn this is my favorite client side firewall software. Looks like I am going to have to set up smoothwall to block that server.

bahh, zonealarm is broken as designed, go with Kerio Personal Firewall instead, seriously speaking as a security guy in the field, it's better.

better company to deal with too.
