Well, it's probably a breach in security to send your log in credentials to strangers in China of all places. Other than that, he probably taught management a very important lesson about how they should lay off all of his peers and hire this company to do their jobs for 1/5 the cost.

A DOJ lawyer friend of mine said sending the credentials actually violates exportation laws. Otherwise, you're right, it's borderline genius.

The bad part is now a company realizes they can get programming done for 1/5 of what they're paying if they outsource it and he may end up costing a bunch more people their jobs.

And yes, yesterday may have been the single best day in the history of internet news stories.

A couple of points about this story:

1. He works for a "critical US infrastructure" business. He gave China direct VPN access to critical US infrastructure. He could very well go to prison.

2. He didn't just send them his username and password. He also physically mailed his second factor authentication token to China.

This guy is a selfish idiot. He deserves whatever he gets.

By the way, if anyone is still interested, here's the original story from the Verizon Business Security Team (they discovered the breach): http://securityblog.verizonbusiness.com ... good-idea/
