I worked for a telecom company that somehow someonr used my computer ID and started customer service orders in my name. I reported to compliance and response was the integrity of they system had not been breached. I feel that they system was breached and asked them to tell me who had access to do this. They tried twice to replicate but said couldn't. This system is tied to accounting, contracts, engineering, and sale reporting. I have been brushed off and feel that this is serious and potentialy a Sarbanes Oxley concern. Can someone validate that I am right?

You are right. If your ID was used without your consent, it is a security breach.

But don't quote me on that.

It would have had to be either the administrator or by their direction that this could have been done. I once had a manager that forced the administrator to access an order entry account of another saleman so he could enter orders himself. It was a lucrative account and the manager decided he wanted to collect the commission himself instead of passing the account onto the salesman. The manger then lied to the salesman about who did it and forced the admin to keep quiet about who he gave access to. The admin quit a month later when the manager tried to do it again to another salesman and the salesmen got wind of it and they all quit too. Needless to say, the manager was the next to go when the corporate boss got wind of what was going on. I hope that this isn't what's going on, but in all likelyhood, you need to get to the bottom of it and maybe prepare and update your resume'.
