"How much training are western corporations giving their international staff about high-tech security?"<p>Everywhere I have worked (public sector, private sector, startup, ISP, defence) there has been scant regard given to security. Anyone who wants to attack a UK-based organisation via its IT is basically at liberty to do so, often through the most old-fashioned of means (password guessing would be fruitful, for example). I have never enjoyed any success, as a sys admin with &#62; 15 years trying, getting people to take security seriously. They still think it won't happen to them, even when you explain to them that when it does, they won't know about it (let alone the danger of honeytraps against specific personnel; lambs to the slaughter afaic). So, yes, it will be routine and lucrative and it's all but encouraged by lax security and dumb optimism almost everywhere.
