I would be willing to bet my life savings that the breach was the result of someone on an H1B IT visa giving all the passwords to China.
This was obviously an inside job. You don’t get these passwords and access by just playing with the keyboard.
There is treason and espionage going on here.
Undoubtedly some Chinese H1B visa holder was given a job an American couldn’t do; i.e, turning over all this information to China.
That’s actually a very good point. What access is automatically made easier just because a person is an insider at GE, for example? And an H1B at GE would be an insider....whose loyalty is overseas someplace.
