Privacy Surrendered

I just finished writing an article for the ISSA Journal on privacy. During the research I came to the conclusion that there is another shoe left to drop - corporate privacy. I consider corporate privacy the aggregate of the obvious things like intellectual property and private data, but I also think that it should contain a provision for employees private information. What if some enterprising thief decides to target your organization? What will they learn about the people at your company? Will they be able to use it against an individual or will they be able to extort the entire organization? You need to know what’s out there. What’s on the facebook page of your employees? Is there anything compromising on flickr? It’s amazing what people will post about themselves!
