"Big Title" Adding Insult to Injury - 01/29/08 06:17 AM
In my last blog entry, Is "Big Title" Outsourcing YOUR Security?, I explored how the major title insurers are shipping your personal information off to the third world.  Well, Reuters recently reported that First American Corp. is planning to spin off its financial services arm, which will include "worldwide residential and commercial title operations".  According to the article, the company plans to "aggressively reduce employee counts" and cut operating costs by offshoring processing related jobs to--you guessed it, India and the Philippines.
