At a company I worked for the CFO had used Bitlocker to encrypt his disk and didn't tell anyone. He was the only person in the company that had done this. We went through a major domain migration which failed and so the a new domain was created and everyone moved to it. Suddenly the CFO could not access his machine anymore and they could not recover anything.

Any idiot that SENDS AN EMAIL from his corporate account discussing a fraud, using whatever phrases, deserves to get caught. What the fuck does "Off the books" mean if not "DON'T WRITE ANYTHING DOWN".

And, if you are going to send an email telling everyone to delete the incriminating emails, make sure you delete that email.

Furthermore, Mike Brighty, another Hasbro Sales Director, was clearly aware not only of the pricing initiative itself but also of its illegality when he suggested to Ian Thomson to ask Lesley Paisley of Littlewoods to delete an incriminating e-mail ('its highly illegal and it could bite you right in the arse!!!! suggest you phone Lesley and tell her to trash?')

Comment Mum kept getting Calls (Score 3, Informative) 272

My mother kept receiving calls from some company claiming to be IT support and trying to get her to visit a website to update her machine as there records show it being infected. She always says that my son deals with that sort of thing and she will just not switch the computer on until I have checked it. One day they called while I was there so I spoke to them, they always mumbled the name of the company, I asked them for their company registration number as I needed to check they are a legitimate company. They try to get me to visit there website where I can see that they are legitimate, eventually they give me a number which was about 12 digits too long for a company registration number I tell them I can't find anything about them at Companies House and eventually they give.
