Why in the HELL are there IoT vending machines in the CIA? Even I know IoT devices are not secure especially if they are coming from a vendor. If anything, the vending machine company should be held responsible for not providing enough security on their device that could have allowed rogue elements to access it and use it for breaking into internal network resources based on it being on-site. WTF!?
Somewhere down the line this had to have been used for some sort of Identity Theft usage as well right? I just can't find the handle. Can anyone find a way to leverage what was just exposed and how it can pertain to identity theft?
Exactly, but those are the exception to the rules. Those who have an inherit passion to do a particular task (coding, playing music, etc...) will do so because of their desire and practice. Now this practice is hidden in the sense that they are constantly perfecting and learning their craft. There are some people who are going to excel and some who aren't. I think the issue is implanting the initial experience and getting them interested first. Just like anything else, it's a marketing and sales strategy. I don't see a problem with it. However, just because they finished Computer Programming 101, it doesn't mean they are not a programmer. Just like a music, just because you can play Little Had a Little Lamb you probably are not going to find people willing to pay you to listen to it. I see both points.
It's because many Indian programmers are subservient and do not fight back. Once that programmer is hired they are leveraged by manager and they have their thumb on them knowing that person will do whatever is asked of them and if not, then you get fired or replaced. And you can't afford to get fired because their visa is being "sponsored" by that company.
I'll give you a hint. Look into the insurance on the debt and how they package any debt collections. There's a lot of money in re-selling debt on collections and the merchants have fraud insurance. There's more money in making a fraud claim than actually recovering product and it's so much easier.

Correct as in "I can't respond fairly to each comment unless you all get in line and i can address each one individually" That's how I read it.

Correct and stupid uninformed people are the ones that are usually are the victims right?
So if you replace "javascript" with "black person" then I see your point . . .
