Feature: Can't stop the tweet: the peril—and promise—of social networking for IT
In 2009, over 300 sensitive company documents, including financial projections and office security codes, were stolen from a Twitter employee's Google Docs account. An individual named "Hacker Croll," claiming responsibility, shared the documents with TechCrunch, which published a portion of the trove online.
More recently, there was the case of Scott McClellan, HP’s chief technologist and interim vice president of engineering and cloud services. In a May update to his publicly accessible LinkedIn profile, McClellan revealed HP's planned foray into cloud computing software and solutions—well in advance of the company's official news release.
