I like the part where NASSCOM chief Kiran Karnik hints at a larger conspiracy. If true, the consequences could be really bad!
UK-based broadcaster Channel 4 has said it would air a sting operation on October 5 that would purportedly blow the lid off the thriving data theft scandal in India’s booming outsourcing industry.
The sting operation, titled The Data Theft Scandal, will reportedly show two Indian middlemen selling personal and confidential financial information of UK citizens they allegedly obtained from Indian call centers.
According to a prelim report published on the website of the London daily The Sunday Times (timesonline.co.uk), “middlemen” - in connivance with willing Indian BPO employees - offer “bulk packages” of crucial information like thousands of credit card numbers, passport and driving license details to the highest bidders.
“They even have access to taped telephone conversations in which British customers disclose sensitive security information to call center staff,” reports The Sunday Times.
