Google, Amazon and several other gov contractors have been loosening their hiring guidelines since the Obama era when it was required for anyone working on gov cloud or gov anything needed to be U.S. Citizen, then it was just on U.S. soil to finally has to be monitored or reviewed by someone in U.S. which very quickly devolved to get the work done even if no one in the U.S. is awake. As you can imagine it would be easy for anyone to slip and take advantage of such wide gaps in security.
