One of the great advantages of third world countries - good education is cheap. A student at a top rated engineering school (iit/nit) in India pays less than ~$2k/year in tution, and about ~$200/month in other expenses. Sure, even this is not affordable to everyone without loans, but the salaries these people draw make the ROI tremendous. No wonder these schools are so hard to get into.

The way this code looks, it opened up a backdoor into the app to load any code embedded in the image, and execute it with the app's credentials - including access to app's in memory data. Major security hole for an enterprise app given that this could be used to override assembly signing. Just change the image, and the app would load and run any code embedded in that background image!
