NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has reportedly landed a technical support job at a major Russian website.

The former NSA analyst who has been charged with espionage by the US for leaking highly classified data about the country's secret surveillance programme has been granted a temporary asylum in Russia for a period of one year.

According to news.com.au, Snowden's lawyer Anatoly Kucherena revealed that his client has started his new job but did not reveal the name of the major website.

Revelations made by Snowden have sparked heated debates globally about the extent to which mass surveillance has been carried out and the US lawmakers are reconsidering their support for these alleged programmes claimed to be crucial for the nation's security.
