You may have heard of the problem a large London law firm had when an e-mail with their name on it went around the city and then across the world, containing apparently very detailed praise of one of the lawyers sexual abilities sent from the man’s girlfriend. She, shall we say, made it clear what awaited him on his finishing work! With a bit of bravado no doubt, he thought he’d copy it to a couple of his colleagues…..
It could be your business facing possible charges for distributing porn if you run a business and you’ve decided that e-mail is a good way for you to communicate with clients, suppliers and staff. You may have given your staff access to the Internet on all their PCs, to help them with their work. Everything’s great until you realise that your system is being abused. Staff have been sending salacious e-mails around the firm and some have been accessing dubious websites in their lunch break.
