Interesting.

I'm sure that Google was able to crawl it because they had analytics on it?
Sounds like it can only be their fault, it's not like Google had an insider waiting to leak info.

Blaming sysadmins? Aside from it's unethical for sysadmins to do so, it's probably also illegal in many jurisdictions.
I use to use a utility for Exchange to extract mail from the server to a PST account for those employees that departed. Technically a sysadmin could read the Email, but why? [The company later came out with a directive to stop using the tool anyways.]
As for Google, who knows what they are doing sometimes....

Instead of knowing that you are planing on getting pregnant before you realize it yourself they are now finding out who won the Gold Logie before it's announced.

Don't be surprised when they do the same thing for the Acme Awards latter. The only difference this time is that they will have the Gold Winer for 2015 announced during the 2012 awards. grin

Illegal, unethical, and that's assuming any of my users had personal emails I had any interest in. IT is soap opera enough thanks. Totally not interested in employee's personal lives . That's HR's job.

I'm actually pretty offended by anyone who suggests that I spend any time reading other peoples email. Aside from the fact that it is illegal to do so in the UK, unless a very specific set of circumstances arises - see RIPA 2000 - I've got a huge amount of work to do as it is without trawling the tens of thousands of emails we create as a company each week.

Everyone knows that you just sit on your rear end doing nothing all day. It's not as if you have anything else "Important" to do. laugh

It always amazes me how some people think that we have nothing better to do but break the law and snoop. Here when we find anything that we consider Child Porn we are supposed to report it to the authorities. Well that's fair enough but what I want to know is who has time to waste looking through everything on a HDD to look for some Kiddy Porn?

Encryption!
A coworker had a coffee mug that said "I don't read your email" wrapped around the body. On the base was printed "You're not that interesting".
