A white hat "pass-the-hash" if you will :)

Exactly.  LinkedIn goes way beyond "online resume site."

Oh, and don't forget about authentication to other sites.

Actually the emails and passwords in linked in, and the information you have 
posted about yourself has a lot of value (spear-phishing attacks, company

Here's the discussion this morning with one of our Service Desk guys.

David, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for.  Thank you very much!

No more comments from the peanut gallery here.  :)

Good questions!


  *   How do we make the decision about what gets set out and what doesn't
Experience - it's part of why our wages are a far more than minimum-wage - 
we're paid to think, not just fill in checkboxes. For something more concrete: 
"if it's business-oriented and heavily used by said business then a 
notification should go out, if not, then no". If in doubt: Ask. There was 
discussion between three departments that happened before the LinkedIn notice 
was sent out, for example.


  *   Do we have a clearly defined idea of where it ends
I do, see above.


  *   Several users are utilizing Dropbox and putting company property/product 
on that site.  If it was hacked, that would be a lot worse than losing your 
"online resume" from LinkedIn, in my opinion.
If so then I would hope that if you heard about Dropbox passwords being posted 
on the Internet that you would want to send out a note to the org, right? On 
the other hand this is one reason we DON'T want users using Google, Dropbox, 
etc for corporate business - we don't have control of the security. This is one 
area that most employees seem to grasp...


  *   Is Service Desk expected to field calls regarding non-NWEA items 
(LinkedIn for example)
If it's about communications *we* send out, then yes. If we know what we're 
doing (and we do) it should be trivial to respond to these. It's our job to 
support our staff, even if some things are beyond our direct control.


  *   Do we need to survey the Org and find a "list" of all the business 
related apps/sites and actively monitor them?
No, we're paid to understand and know our environment. If we don't know the 
majority of what's on users' machines and what websites are commonly used by 
our staff then we're not doing our job. Do we know EVERY site they use? No. The 
key phrase is "commonly used".

Dave

David,
Thank you for your follow up and feeling concerned about our reaction.  Let me 
state, I wasn't upset with the decision, I think what you did was a good thing. 
 Here's the angle I am coming from:


  *   How do we make the decision about what gets set out and what doesn't
  *   Is Service Desk expected to field calls regarding non-NWEA items 
(LinkedIn for example)

I am not trying to knock the fact we sent it out, even if I was acting in a 
joking manor yesterday.  What I am trying to do is play the other side and ask 
questions that I feel really do need to be asked.  Where do we stop?  Yesterday 
when we were all talking, Dropbox was tossed out and it didn't seem to get the 
same response as LinkedIn.  Several users are utilizing Dropbox and putting 
company property/product on that site.  If it was hacked, that would be a lot 
worse than losing your "online resume" from LinkedIn, in my opinion.

So what I am trying to drill down to is; how do we make these decisions, how do 
we support this when they happen and do we need to survey the Org and find a 
"list" of all the business related apps/sites and actively monitor them?

And if all this is "above my pay grade" , then disregard my 7:00 am rambling :)
