John Chen, CEO of Sybase Inc. told Don Tennant of Computerworld, June 23, 2003, about the security implications of offshore outsourcing.

"I think your readers should be more concerned about the whole outsourcing phenomenon. Because if you have so many foreigners creating code that is ultimately shipped back to the U.S., and if you have the U.S. government policy of buying off-the-shelf software, guess what's happening?

"We may be unknowingly allowing backdoor traps in the code. Hackers could very well be putting in compromising code. We have to be careful, because more and more companies, by necessity, are building their code overseas."

Mr. Chen is a big fan of H1B so the patented "free" traders' invective that some use such as "protectionist" or "racist" is even sillier.
