Yesterday, we reported about the complete source code of an older Kaspersky product being available on publicly accessible torrent and file hosting sites.More info Softpedia.
The code was last modified in December 2007 and judging by the directory tree it probably corresponds to a beta version of Kaspersky Internet Security 8.0.
Russian technology publication CNews quotes [Google translation] a Kaspersky Lab spokesperson, according to whom a former employee with legitimate access to the source code stole it in early 2008.
It's not clear if he did it out of revenge or entirely for profit, but he ended up offering it for sale on the black market.
