Do some freelancing during office hours & double the income.

While not doing anything might be immoral, doing something else is most likely in violation of the contract and the work done would (again, most likely) be owned by the employer. Along with the income.

You have to think bigger man.

Outsource the outsourcement... Interact with top-level outsourcer once per week... he interacts with low-level outsourcer daily.

Profit.

this may be veering off-topic, but why would an employer-- especially a big one with lots of individual consumers as customers-- be willing to make it publicly known that that occurred?

doesn't it undermine consumer confidence in their business?

They didn't. The story is provided by Verizon's Enterprise Security Products group, and is a cautionary tale about one of their clients and the need for proactive log review. The client and the cat-loving software developer in question were not named.
