Outsource yourself and watch kitty videos

He was a mid-40’s software developer versed in a number of programming languages, a family man, and an employee of the firm for quite a long time. He was "inoffensive and quiet", "someone you wouldn’t look at twice in an elevator." But, as it turned out, he wasn't as inoffensive as they believed at first glance.
According to an article on www.net-security.org, the employee - whom they dubbed "Bob" - had only been pretending to work. In reality, he had outsourced his job. "Bob spent less than one fifth of his six-figure salary for a Chinese firm to do his job for him. Authentication was no problem, he physically FedExed his RSA token to China so that the third-party contractor could log-in under his credentials during the workday. It would appear that he was working an average 9 to 5 work day." If you were wondering what "Bob" did with all his free time, the answer is surf the Internet. He spent hours upon hours browsing Reddit and eBay, watching cat videos on YouTube, updating Facebook and LinkedIn.
