Rodel, Not a good idea especially if the employee works in mission critical postion (ie systems administrators, firewall, network, etc). Opens the door to various social engineering attacks " ehhh...I need to get some information but Bob is not here today...". Another way to look at it is...when you go on vacation do you put a sign on your front door...advertising that you will wiil be out of town for the next ten days? Most people do not. --- Rodel Calvario <rodelcalvario () hotmail com> wrote:
Hello All, Don't know if this is the right place to post this. Are the out of office messages inviting hackers to attack your corporate network? Is this a risk to your company if employees start using the Out of Office feature? Any comments? Thanks in adavnce.
