Yes, LOTS of software professionals have lost their jobs to India. Although I don't like the idea, if the work is sanctioned by the company, that's one thing. Fraudulantly presenting the work as your own to your employer, is quite another.

All that said, yes the security breach is the most serious result of the whole thing.
