The study documents the scam of a developer, who is referred to as Bob. He worked at a "critical infrastructure" company in the U.S. and started outsourcing his work to China underneath his company's nose, and would only pay those people less than one fifth of his six-figure salary.
Here's how it was possible.
Bob's company had started letting employees work remotely from home on certain days, so it set up a VPN concentrator to facilitate that. The company implemented two-factor authentication for the connection, with the second factor being a physical, rotating token RSA key fob. So all Bob had to do was send the key over to China via FedEx.

Imagine the back doors a power that hates us could sneak in there...
In this tiny little community with mostly nothing going for it at all, we have middle-aged male Sheriff's Deputies cruising the internet all day pretending to be 12-year-old girls looking for sex.
When they occasionally entrap some idiot, they just hand it over to the feds and get recognized in a story in the local newsrag.
Kitty ping...
Reminds me of one of my college buds who now works in affiliate marketing. Does the same thing from home but instead of cats, he watches either sports or porn. I thought it was a scam until he showed me those 4 figure checks coming in every week..
