Plus, I think it shows them that we are looking out for them and not just the company. From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 4:07 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: To notify, or not notify (LinkedIn) We fired off an advisory e-mail to our staff about LinkedIn and recommending they change their password, and included links to both the LinkedIn Tweet and the CNet article. After the e-mail went out I got bombed by our Service Desk guys (it was my recommendation to send it) asking why we would want to do such a thing since "it's not our website". I felt the scope was sufficient and the business use adequate enough to warrant notifying our employees. I had folks above me agree with me (else it wouldn't have been sent), and the front line guys disagree. This is one of those judgment calls where everyone is going to handle it differently. Did any of you guys send a note out to your staff?
