Thoughts? I'm wondering why User Operational Security falls under the realm of Firewall Wizards.. Other than that, I'd say - They're not alone by any stretch of the imagination, and plenty of users seem to be perfectly willing to accept the risk (or be unaware of it). However, not much you can do on the firewall side other than turning off webmail access...

Hiya all. Has anyone else noticed the option to see who else they know is connected on Linked-in? Have you noticed that if you click on the outlook button it asks you for your WORK EMAIL PASSWORD!!!!! Bloody hell! It's not like the job of getting users to not submit this information to other sites isn't already hard enough without this!!! The "can't put brains in pumpkins " department must be having a field day over this. Am I the only one that think this is a touch negligent on the part of Linked-in? Or should I just accept that it is corporate facebook, accepts that they have the dame moral fibre and move on? Maybe I am expecting too much? Thoughts? -- Regards, M@ -- "Some things are eternal by nature, others by consequence" ________________________________ This electronic message transmission and any attachments that accompany it contain information from DRC(r) (Dynamics Research Corporation) or its subsidiaries, or the intended recipient, which is privileged, proprietary, business confidential, or otherwise protected from disclosure and is the exclusive property of DRC and/or the intended recipient.
