Looks like a security seller wants to sell more security so he is telling the boss that the IT people are reading your emails to your girlfriend and the IT dudes might tell your wife, we can protect your emails from the IT dudes and dudettes.

These security firms, I wonder how well they would score if they were scrutinised for security and ease of using their "work tools".

By the way, does anyone ever bother to come back and read their comments (if they get posted)?

That article title basically amounts to: "Half of all company CEOs are actively being blackmailed."

I think sending cash in regular mail is a hell of a lot more sane and secure than emailing confidential information.
At least regular mail is closed and not routinely looked into for thievery purposes, so I don't quite get why that's singled out as 'even'.
