Examining potential motives and capabilities—or means—of foreign countries to use Year 2000 remediation as an opportunity to exploit or attack US computer networks can assist in identifying countries more likely to be involved in these activities. Using reports of economic espionage as an index of motive and foreign involvement in information warfare initiatives as a measure of capability points to a tiered national risk structure with India and Israel as more likely sources of malicious remediation among leading US offshore remediation service providers. The extensive use of untested foreign providers for Year 2000 remediation requires comprehensive independent verification by trusted vendors that the new software is free of malicious code or trap doors to help ensure the integrity of computer systems and networks.
