美國程序員:用1/5的工資 我把工作外包給中國人了!大綱
Do you fire an employee for not doing his job, or do you promote him for being brilliant?
你是會因爲員工不做自己的工作而解僱他，還是因爲他表現優秀而提拔他？
That thought may have crossed the minds of supervisors at an unidentified American critical-infrastructure company mentioned on Verizon's computer-security blog Monday (Jan. 14).
1月14日，威瑞森無線通訊公司在他們的電腦安全博客上提到了一家美國大型基礎設施公司，這家公司的管理人員說不定就想過了這個問題。
An audit of the firm's server logs revealed an alarming amount of unexplained logins from China into the company's virtual private network.
公司在檢查他們的服務器日誌後發現，有大量無法解釋的中國地址登陸公司的虛擬專用網的記錄。
It appeared that a Chinese hacker was breaking into the corporate network almost every day by using an employee's RSA key, a random-passcode-generating token.
看來是一箇中國黑客每天都用公司一名員工的RSA密鑰（一種隨機生成密碼的身份憑證）闖入公司的網絡。
But that specific employee, a software developer, was in the building every day sitting at his desk. Fearing that millions of dollars in company secrets had been stolen by Chinese hackers, the company brought in Verizon investigators.
但是牽涉其中的那名軟件開發員，卻每天都好端端地坐在寫字樓的辦公桌前。由於擔心價值數百萬美元的公司機密被中國黑客竊取，公司請來了運營商威瑞森的調查員。
The team took a look at the employee's computer for evidence of malware infection. What they found amazed them.
威瑞森的調查員檢查了這名員工的電腦是否有被惡意軟件感染。結果卻讓他們驚訝無比。
The employee wasn't doing any work at all. He just surfed the Web and checked email all day. Every week, he received an invoice — from China.
這名員工完全沒有在工作。他整天做的事情只是上上網，收收電郵而已。每週他都會收到一張發票——一張來自中國的發票。
It turned out the employee, who was considered one of the best software developers in the company, had completely outsourced his job and was paying Chinese developers about one-fifth of his own six-figure salary.
原來，這名員工將他的所有工作全部都外包給了中國的軟件開發員，並支付自己薪水的1/5給他們。他自己所拿到的工資是六位數的，而且公司還認爲他還是最優秀的軟件開發員之一。
He'd even sent the Chinese developers his passcode generator so they could log into the company's network on his behalf every day.
他甚至把他自己的密碼發生器給了中國的開發員，這樣他們就能以這名員工的名義登陸公司網絡。
There was evidence he was pulling the same scam at other companies as well. The Verizon blog posting didn't mention whether the man still worked at the company.
有證據表明，他在其他公司也使過這招。威瑞森的博客上並沒有提到這個員工是否還在該家公司工作。
