Regarding that packaged software - I wonder how much of its software development was off-shored like to hostile power (e.g, China, Iran, Russia, etc) or a place where the developers could be influenced by hostile powers.

Packaged software is pretty much extinct. Everything is web applications. In this particular case, the billing network provider got hacked and ransomed by the same actors that attacked Caesars and MGM Resorts. The FBI should have destroyed that hacker outfit by now.

Most of it actually. That is why I would not be sorry to see every undersea cable cut and the garbage ruling class forced to reshore talent.
