A US software developer (doing government work) apparently outsourced himself. Basically he took some of his wages and hired a team in China to do the work. And he was considered one of the best programmers they had….He was caught thru a security audit (found lots of traffic logging in with his username/password from China). What did he do all day. Apparently same thing with other companies and surf the web (i.e. goof off).
I have heard stories of this being done, but this is the first time I have a concrete article about it. It makes me wonder how cheap can you get engineers overseas, and how often this really happens.
