Twitter and potential information leaks
I read this morning in Michael Krisgram’s blog, the US congressman that has twitted (by the way, we should use as an indicator of business success the acceptance of company names as verbs …) confidential information about his route while travelling through Iraq recently. Krisgram wonders whether the massive adoption of Twitter may become a security/confidentiality issue for governments going forward. In the corporate world, we are asking ourselves if this avalanche of business information communicated by employees which are not official speakers may have consequences through the leakage of sensitive information to the market that may even put companies’ strategies at risk.
