It is being done, has been done, and I believe cyber-security between companies who outsource their employees to land outside the US is non-existent. Take Intel, for example. HP. Koch Brothers, anyone? A few months ago there was a story about foreign hacking, computer screens showing outdated versions of software- XP systems are VERY vulnerable to foreign attacks due to MS updating to versions of Windows that aren’t compatible with the older service packs or system requirements of old computers. They are being taught how to inject SQL attacks into Java, finding the codes for Norton and other programs that have worked hard to impress & improve their product’s outer look, yet sloppily disregarded attention to update the code integrated in order to actually do what it claims it will- save your precious computer from viruses and trojans. I cringe each time I need to use Java, and think Adobe is a landmine of atrocity- it is the hacker’s dream and the typical beginner-user’s nightmare. They are tearing old code apart to find new ways of integrating attacks into new systems. And being taught by various traveling businessmen who are being paid like Wall Street brokers for giving them this opportunity, a backdoor yellow-brick road into each of our homes, into our bank accounts, into our lives- no longer private, nothing sacred in this age of tech-hell. Not an exaggeration, this is a reality. And those who travel to teach corporate secrets in order to benefit themselves or whomever else- are the ones who need to be investigated and put to a stop.#endrant
