"Security a threat to Indian Outsourcing?" No Shit.

Nobody's perfect, but one needn't be the king of chess players to fathom other countries have different laws, different standards, different customs, maybe a lack of laws, et cetera...

Offshoring was not thought out very well, I'm sorry.

And I'm not an expert: I was thinking America, while the article is all about India.

At least they're worried about becoming a bad mark. Reports of flaky and faulty products from China continue unabated...

Que sera sera. I'm tired of being so pessimistic. :cry:

there is a buck to be made. Corporations don't care about security until it has an effect on their bottom line.

Security will become a threat to the Indian Outsourcing business when the people demand it.
