NSA leaker, Edward Snowden reportedly has found work in Russia with one of the country's
largest websites.
Snowden's lawyer told a Russian news outlet, "Edward starts working from November 1. He
will be part of the support team of one of the largest Russian websites. I can't say
the name of the website now for security reasons ... " (Via RT)
This news comes on the heels of Snowden's latest leak about the NSA collecting secret
data from Google and Yahoo.
The Washington Post reports the NSA "secretly broken into the communications links that
connect Yahoo and Google data centers around the world ... to collect at will from hundreds
of millions of user accounts" citing documents from Snowden.
Snowden has been on the run since May of 2013 after causing arguably the largest leak of
government materials in history. Snowden flew to China then spent more than a month in a
Moscow airport before being granted temporary asylum in Russia. (Via The Guardian)

According to Snowden's lawyer, the whistleblower is running low on money and needs a job to
support himself.
Snowden's location in Russia remains a secret. He's wanted in the United States for multiple
counts of espionage for uncovering a mass surveillance scheme at the National Security
Agency.
