Net threat overstated, says security researcher

Some Threat!: There are so many threats bouncing around in cyberspace and so many chicken littles announcing the sky is falling that most large companies are overlooking a serious threat to their existance.

Since there have been so many American workers thrown to the dogs while foreign workers were brought in the hundreds of thousands under H1B and L1 visas to replace the Americans there is a two sided threat to this greedy corporations first. One threat is many companies have turned the control of their networks over to noncitizens many of whom are less qualified than those Americans they replaced. The second threat it the mounting volume of Americans who cannot find work in their own country for the longest periods in history. These workers may have grudges to bear on the companies which have dumped the American workers without any concern for the American workers. Should the disgruntled American workers decide to launch their skills on the corporation which sold out their jobs would the companies foreign worker be able to bring the wrath under control.

A little glitch in the hardware or software may take a few hours to fix, but an massive attack launch by a small percentage of the Americans who have lost their jobs, their homes and their very livings may take years to fix.; Posted by: Thrifty Tech Posted on: 04/21/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
