UK WORKERS FAIL
NATIONAL �EMAIL ETHICS� TEST
�The results from the UK�s first national email ethics survey could
leave businesses floundering, revealing that 53% of employees
from the UK�s largest cities behave���� �e-morally�
on email whilst at work. From sending messages that contain racist,
sexist, pornographic or discriminatory content through to even using
email to �back stab� fellow colleagues � today�s results show the true
extent of email misconduct across the country.�
SurfControl,
experts in managing email and Internet content in the workplace,
commissioned the NOP survey to determine exactly how 100 white collar
workers from each of the UK�s largest cities (London, Edinburgh,
Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool & Newcastle) really
use email when left to their own devices.
Bad news for employers:
With nearly 30% of the UK�s workforce admitting to sending
racist, sexist, pornographic and discriminatory emails at work.�
The survey illustrates that whilst employees in London and Manchester
are the worst offenders, the problem is endemic across the UK.

GFI's new email security package for Exchange and SMTP servers, has been
awarded anti-virus certification from ICSA Labs. The certification
provides independent confirmation that GFI MailSecurity for
Exchange/SMTP protects networks against email viruses.

combination of multiple anti-virus engines, an email exploit shield, a
threats engine, and email content and attachment checking, GFI
MailSecurity delivers powerful protection against email viruses and
attacks," said Nick Galea, GFI CEO. "ICSA's certification of GFI
MailSecurity's anti-virus capabilities gives security administrators
assurance from an independent third-party that the product provides
effective defense against viruses," said Larry Bridwell, content

It�s Not Hype�Internet Predators Are Out There.
Recent study finds that 1 in
5 children are sexually solicited online�
SOUTHAMPTON, PA, 5/09/2002 � Many people equate �Internet predators�
with parking lot ankle slashers, alligators in the sewer, and other
so-called �urban legends.��� The thought of people using
Instant Messenger with the express purpose of luring children for sex is
outrageous to most, yet it happens, over and over and over.� Proof
of this can be found by keeping an eye on the Delaware County Internet
Crimes Against Children Taskforce, headed up by Lt. David C. Peifer.�
Almost every single week, their detectives lure would-be Internet
predators by posing as children in chat rooms.� In fact, a recent
study by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children found
that 1 in 5 children have been sexually solicited online.
