Greed meets greed. Companies hiring cheap labor, being exploited in several fronts.
It was a decision for several companies to spread thin their offshore hiring. They practically invited infiltrators in.
Keep focused. Small companies never mattered for nations, they are irrelevant. Spreading paranoia will not solve their over-reliance on this exploited offshore problem. It will likely lead them to bankrupcy.
Ultimately, it doesn't invalidate what I said. It actually makes my comment more relevant.

It's not offshore. Infiltrators are pretending that they're in the US. I first saw this 2 years ago, and they were pretty clumsy back then: always blurred background (and refusing to unblur it) and/or doing calls from a windowless office. You could even see their eyes moving, like they're reading the script.
This year they became much fancier. They use backgrounds with the real time-of-day and weather illumination. The eyes no longer move unnaturally, etc.
