Another Scare With Software Development Outsourcing

What does Solidworks, Alibre Inc, and  InterOp Software have in common?

They were all victims of source code theft by disgruntled employees of these organizations international outsourcing partners. The InterOp incident was reported by an Indian news service. See additional discussion  on Steve Gold's SecurityWatch blog. It involved an employee of 3DPLM Software Solutions, an India based outsource development company sending InterOp’s source code to the employee’s husband before she resigned. 3DPLM put the value of the source code at $12M. No discussion on the motive, but I would guess she had new job with one InterOp's competitors.
