Messaging API - By MARCI ALBOHER NUSBAUMCorporate executives are becoming increasingly aggressive about spyingon their employees, and with good reason: now, in addition to jobshirkers and office-supply thieves, they have to worry about beingheld accountable for the misconduct of their subordinates.Even one offensive e-mail message circulated around the office by asingle employee can pose a liability risk for a company. Not onlythat, but a wave of laws -- including the federal Health InsurancePortability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the anticorruption andcorporate-governance Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 -- have imposed newrecord-keeping and investigative burdens on companies. Not complyingwith some laws can result in the personal liability of officers anddirectors.As a result, employers have stepped up their surveillance ofemployees, often using stealth techniques to peer deep into theircomputer use.
