The Pune BPO Citibank / Mphasis Fraud – 1/?
The fraud that occured is of course quite dramatic and should not happen at all. But the fraud will of course solicit the usual press.
One range of articles will be about how it can be dangerous for data to leave the country and go to a Third World country where laws are lax or nonexistent etc.
Another range will be by the consultants ( and Forrester has already jumped in ) saying that it will undermine the credibility and harm the nascent industry etc.
We will then see the data security consultants coming right in and selling the concept of data security certification, the hardware guys telling us how data could be secured in so many ways etc etc.
And are we not forgetting the flurry of seminars that will follow some time later?
Whether the original perpetrators made money or not the ambulance chasers definitely will.
