Survey: One in 3 Information Tech Professionals Snoops on Other Employees



Do you trust your company's friendly information-technology personnel not to read your e-mail? Maybe you shouldn't.

A survey of IT professionals revealed that one in three admitted reading other people's messages, checking out salary details and going over board-meeting minutes, according to Reuters.

Nearly half — 47 percent — said they'd accessed information that wasn't directly relevant to their jobs.

"All you need is access to the right passwords or privileged accounts and you're privy to everything that's going on within your company," said Mark Fullbrook, U.K. director of Newton, Mass.-based security company Cyber-Ark, which conducted the survey of 300 IT professionals, in the report.

2. I've never looked, and believe me I can.
The 1 of 3 is the same type of idiot who thinks it's cool to cripple servers when they quit their job or are fired.

3. When I was in IT I didn't look either
Though I did check out what websites people were going to.
