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
<http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,369302,00.html>  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.

The report also found that 30 percent of administrator passwords are changed
only every three months, while 9 percent are never changed at all.
