At what point will companies STOP outsourcing their IT to China, India and Russia? Cybersecurity is one area that pundits will never speak about truthfully. The fact is is that banks, governments, technology companies, etc. hire or use foreign programmers. Those programmers mostly come from the the three countries I mention. I used to work for one of the largest banks in the world. They entrusted most of their entire trading platform, business operations and commercial banking operations to Shanghai programmers who were not even employees. Why? Because a Shanghai computer contractor cost less than $20,000 a year rather than an American working out of the bank’s HQ in New York who cost at least $150,000. This is not a surprise, and my peers were concerned about what could happen. Management did not care. As with moslem terrorism, the powers that be have allowed it to get to where it is now.

And the general public must live with the ramifications.

Management did care... but only about meeting cost targets, stock price targets, and performance bonuses.
