Why does Infosys get access to HIPAA data (including copying it to their own storage!) to train AI models? That seems like another large story.
They have case studies on it I suppose: https://www.infosys.com/industries/financial-services/case-s...
The GitHub user instead of reporting incident to their security team chose to take sneaky approach to remove the keys fearing the actions from company. They will be fired and instead of retrospectively improving the security Infosys will ban all OSS contributions from their developers.
This kind of stories is one of the reason I visit Hacker News. Thank you! It's funny and annoying to read every week or so about another epic fail of a multi-billion "multinational information technology company". Good luck with outsourcing your critical services and medical data to neurodivergents. Thanks again for making my day.
Can you please explain this?
Personally, I would have stopped right before "The Cleanup", and made a report.
Which option would I choose from https://www.cisa.gov/report? None of them stand out, so I would have chosen the last option, to send an email.
> To put it bluntly, I’m not sure I trusted Infosys to revoke this key in a timely manner. So I did it for them with aws iam delete-access-key --access-key-id=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, and now the key is useless: Hilarious. Infosys is a known "mass recruiter" in indian colleges. WITCH (Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, HCL) companies is where talent goes to die. No competent employee stays in those companies (from what I've…
> Cognizant Someone hired those clowns as contractors as extra in a previous job, to loud protests from our development team. They produced what was quite possibly the most chaotic, copy-paste, typo-laden code I have ever seen in my life.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Fun fact: Mozilla projects are now developed in part by Cognizant Softvision, including Firefox for Android. Their employees are everywhere on Mozilla bug trackers, and their numbers seem to have increased since 2020, right after Mozilla fired a quarter of its workforce. https://www.cognizantsoftvision.com/blog/pedal-metal-mozilla...
This pisses me straight off. Someone needs to fork Mozilla (the company) and bring back its hayday culture.
The Indian government has, over the years, awarded contracts worth billions of dollars to Infosys for projects like the Goods and Service Tax portal, Income Tax portal. In all these cases, the implementations are slow and super buggy. Deadlines to deliver are routinely missed. In an ideal world, these companies should not be allowed to exist.
In a world filled with more competence and less corruption, Infosys would have gone bankrupt 20 years ago. But here we are with Wipro, Infosys, TCS etc. all chugging along.
TCS -> US$25 billion Revenue in 2022 InfoSys-> US$16 billion Revenue in 2022 Wipro -> US$10 billion Revenue in 2022 I want to get out of this Universe and get into one that makes sense...
