Last week, television talk show host David Letterman acknowledged on his program that he had sexual relationships with several female employees and that someone tried to extort money from him under the threat of making the relationships public. Letterman referred the matter to the police and the Manhattan district attorney's office, and after an investigation, another employee of the Letterman's broadcasting network, CBS, was arrested on attempted grand larceny. I don't know about you but this is a great example of how romance (sex) in the workplace can go terribly wrong!

The cost of security breaches in Canada
There’s a new report from TELUS in partnership with the Rotman School of Management that helps quantify the cost of IT security breaches to Canadian companies.
The report, based on a survey of more than 600 IT security professionals in Canada found that:
- IT security breaches cost the average organization an estimated $834,000 in 2009 – a 97 per cent increase from the $423,000 reported last year.
- There were an average of 11.3 reported IT security breaches per company in 2009, an increase of 276 per cent compared with 2008.
- Many of these breaches were “inside jobs” perpetrated by a company’s own employees
