Title should be "Hackers target apps, outsourced or not" 

In Hackers target outsourced app development

The hackers are going after the apps, and it doesn't matter if the app is produced by an outsourcing firm or not. Vista was hacked via Flash, and Mac was hacked via Safari. If a firm does not really give a flying ---- about security, then it opens the door to hackers. Duh.

When outsourcing the app, the origanization can't be asleep at the wheel. They are paying for the code, so they should be reviewing it. Design goes by the wayside time and again, and nobody ever seems to learn yesterday's lesson.

Even if the results get sold on eBay, and with much publicity.
