I am not surprised, it's a dirty little secret in the software industry that we employ a lot of Russian and other potentially vulnerable Eastern European software contractors. Not to blame anyone specifically, I mean the threat could equally come from India or China. Or even a direct hack. It could also be an insider threat from an American as well. Since software development is a complicated profession, it takes a lot of intelligent oversight to ensure that critical paths are secure; especially as we migrate to cloud and site wide solutions.


Chinese citizens are legally required to spy if asked. Don't know about the other countries citizens.

"asked" is probably a friendly oversimplification...


No.


I've never heard of such a thing happening in Canada or the US.
