Oh, don't think this is a problem that is localized to some countries -- it happens all over the world. The actual work itself may be outsourced to some countries (some Eastern Bloc countries spring to mind; I met a couple of guys from Czechoslovakia who specialized in reversing wireless firmware in GPS devices) but the firms who contract this work and use the results operate in the US and Europe as well.
