1 In 3 Sysadmins Snoop On Colleagues

Posted by timothy on from the and-they-steal-chips-and-soda dept.

klubar writes "According to a a recent survey, one in three IT staff snoops on colleagues. U.S. information security company Cyber-Ark surveyed 300 senior IT professionals, and found that one-third admitted to secretly snooping, while 47 percent said they had accessed information that was not relevant to their role. Makes you wonder about the other 2 out of 3. Did they lie on the survey or really don't snoop?"

    the only time I've ever accessed the company's assets are when it was warranted. I've looked through your log files, and I think you're lying.

    Maybe I got snooping out of my system early enough, before I was an admin. I just don't even care what my users email about. I'm too busy actually fixing things to care, unless something breaks.

    It's pretty pathetic to have to get one's jollies snooping on others rather than actually doing something.
    Could you please explain Youtube then.

    Members of professional organizations such as the IEEE Computer Society Have promised to follow a "code of ethics and professional conduct".

    As a member, and having read the document, I understand that it is ethically wrong, a career limiting move, and not worth violating my promises just to satisfy my curiosity.
