I've said this before but in my old addiction group, everyone there screwed their own lives up but nobody screwed up everyone else's lives around them nearly as much as the gambling addicts. No external symptoms, and someone can lose their house before their wife and kids even notice a problem.

The Defense Dept. has a rule: Only U.S. citizens or permanent residents can handle sensitive data. Then Microsoft created a workaround that seemed to violate the spirit of this rule, leaving computer systems vulnerable to Chinese government sabotage:

How Microsoft’s “Little Workaround” Created a Major Pentagon Threat

A little-known Microsoft program allowed China-based engineers to service the U.S. government’s sensitive computer systems — until reporter Renee Dudley found out about it.
