How much would it take to sell your company down the river?

That's what I was discussing with various people at a computer security show yesterday. It's an interesting question: does everyone have his or her price?

I blogged about it, posted to Digg and I'd be interested to see any comments.

Oh yes, and if you have a Digg account, could you please Digg it and get it up the greasy pole.

When I was at Amex I'd have screwed them over for a KitKat Chunky to be honest. In fact, unless it was seriously high risk you probably wouldn't even need to bribe me

Shouldnt that question have been asked of Archer Bellotti and Stanley? What was it £48.25 or similar.

i work there, would need more than a kitkat tho! not sure if times have changed but imo they're very good to staff

I knew someone who was a private dick and I was staggered at how little it took to bribe someone from a bank to reveal private data.

As for the kitkat, earlier this week there was a silly survey that purportedly revealed that most women would reveal their company password for a bar of chocolate.

My guess is that it would take very little money to bust a company wide open....I certainly don't think it would take millions like the bloke I mention in my blog.

Digg link isn't working for me right now

I don't have anything critical info wise on my company, other than knowledge of the client DB; but on the clients - entirely different story...

It would take quite a bit of money to send the company (well, Council) down, but individual people... Thats another story!!!

At the Co-Op I would have probably done it for £1000

Infosec??

I used to work (as a short-term contractor) for a household name in insurance. They were supposed to mask all live customer data if you were testing a new computer system. Whereas all the test files we got had real names, real addresses, phone numbers, lists of valuables - Rolexes, paintings, silverware etc etc. together with their insurance values, the kind of locks they had fitted to their windows etc etc. If I had a mind to, I could have sold any one of those files for a HUGE amount of money.

Indeed. Some interesting chats too.
