Ex-Con Swipes iPads: HR Hires Used Car Salesman for Security Flop!
In this week’s On Call, Boris shares his tale of tech support chaos involving an iPad heist, a dodgy website, and a used car salesman moonlighting as a web developer. When the HR person lost it over his discovery, Boris calmly found a senior manager who understood the gravity of his find.
Hot Take:
When life gives you lemons, you might find out they were stolen from the IT department. Who knew iPads and used car salesmen would have so much in common? Both can disappear mysteriously and leave you wondering if background checks should be required for tech solutions too!
Key Points:
- Boris from a cybersecurity firm shares a tale of missing iPads and misplaced trust.
- iPads intended for a giveaway were secured but later found to be stolen by an ex-convict hired as Head of Legal.
- Mandatory background checks on staff led to the discovery of a poorly designed website for data handling.
- Boris found everyone’s passwords were easily guessable, leading to a security nightmare.
- The HR person responsible hired a used car salesman to develop the inadequate website.
