Maybe the segment of in the industry in which the cheapest outsourced devs work, anyway. Their conclusion states as much (hiring more expensive devs on freelancer.com got them more secure solutions): "In addition, we found a significant effect in the freelancers’ acceptance rate between the €100 and €200 conditions for the prompted task and examined the effect of different payment levels on secure coding behavior. We saw more secure solutions in the €200 conditions, although the difference was not statistically significant. However, this result might be due to the small sample size and we believe this is worth following up in future work."
