Unsolicited advertising email continues to account for untold business losses each year. To give you an idea of the scope of the problem, in 1998 AOL reported that of the approximately 30 million email messages its servers handled each day, between 5 and 30 percent were spam. Assuming that this rate is true for other email providers as well, spam takes a significant economic toll on business, not merely in terms of Internet resources, but in lost employee productivity as well. Sometimes, whether you receive bulk email is just the luck of the draw. Target addresses are often generated at random, or constructed from common usernames and domains. My own mail server is configured to forward any mail sent to my domain, regardless of address, straight to my account. Among the legitimate mail, I notice lots of spam for variations on hesketh.net (for example, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), even though there are very few real email addresses in that domain (which is just the Web hosting arm of my business).

If you feel your privacy at work has been eroding lately, it's probably more than just your imagination. Experts say companies are under increasing pressure to monitor employees electronically, and workers should assume they are being watched. Concerns about liability in harassment suits, skyrocketing losses from employee theft, and productivity losses from employees shopping or peeping at porn from their cubicles have led to an explosion in the number of companies conducting some form of electronic monitoring on their employees.
