what happens when UK firms send jobs abroad

bbc
Police are investigating reports that an Indian call centre worker sold the bank account details of 1,000 UK customers to an undercover reporter.
The Sun claims one of its journalists bought the personal details from an IT worker in Delhi for £4.25 each.

They included account holders' secret passwords, addresses, phone numbers and passport details, it reports.

isnt there a law that prevents companys from sending confidential information to places where its not secure?

Yeah, there are laws, but try to enforce them in India.

Outsourcing. You get exactly what you pay for.

Ain't 'liberal free-market economics' wonderful?

(the only kind of 'liberal' the current US right seems to be able to abide is this kind that destroys our people's livings in our own countries!)
