Cisco vice president of services Mike Quinn, a former CIA operations officer, believes that whoever recently leaked an internal company memo to a blogger committed corporate treason and violated a “family” trust. In an email sent to Cisco employees, Quinn invites the anonymous leaker to voluntarily step forward, concedes that such a confession is unlikely, and adds, “so I will now make (finding) you my hobby.”
And to emphasize the point: “Ask around (and) you will find out that I like to work on my hobbies.”
