| Two Indian IT HQs evacuated after more bomb hoaxes |
| 2005-03-15 |
| The head offices of top Indian software firms Infosys and Wipro were evacuated overnight after bomb hoaxes, police and company officials said on Tuesday, a week after a hoax at Wipro that was traced to an employee. Work at the Bangalore campuses of Infosys Technologies Ltd. and Wipro Ltd. has returned to normal. But police remain on alert around Bangalore, India's outsourcing capital, following comments from New Delhi police who said last week they had killed three Kashmiri separatists who had appeared to be planning attacks on Indian technology companies. |

| #3 I work for a very large US computer manufacturer. I heard internal stories about German kids calling our call centers as pranks a while back, but I hadn't heard of any US people doing the same in an organized fashion. |

| #1 Anyone else remember a story about people calling up overseas support lines and abusing the staffers? I wonder if some of this isn't an extension of that practice. |
