Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of the Russian antivirus company Kaspersky Lab, admits it crossed his mind last year that he might die in a plane crash caused by a cyber attack. Kaspersky is a man of eclectic tastes and boyish humor; when we met in his office on the outskirts of Moscow, he was munching a snack of sweetened, freeze-dried whole baby crabs from Japan, and at one point he showed me a pair of men's undergarments, bought on a Moscow street, that had been stamped "Protected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus." But he grew quite serious when the subject turned to the days leading up to April 1, 2009.
