Most of you will still recall Enron Corporation; a company that went bancrupt(beeing one of the biggest bancrupcies ever, and the managers were sued very recently). Anyways, according to F-Secure, the entire email database containing all company emails was released to the public back in 2003.
The funny thing is that a service now decided to use these emails as samples for a big human-test. Users get to look at individual emails and get to clasify them as spam or ham. The funny thing, according to F-Secure, is hidfden like a needle in a haystack: office flirtation, class reunion planning and much more.
To cut a long story short: dont ever rely on your company’s email account for privacy. For those, who’s secrets are beeing shared: tough luck, Jack =). And for all others..have a good laugh!
