    Bypassing communication archiving requirements? Years ago, I worked for a company that logged all IM, etc, that occurred in a companies intranet. There were laws that required all communications to be preserved for certain industries.

    This sounds like a workaround to avoid chat history

      Generally bypassing these auditing requirements is a punishable offense. I worked for a firm that was SEC regulated and you might be shocked at how much effort was expended on ensuring these policies weren’t being circumvented.

      “We cracked the case open when we discovered their chats in ‘troubleshooting_not_secret_comms.xls’. They tried to cover their tracks through regular deletion, and they would have gotten away with it if not for one neglected PC in a disused office running an unsupervised copy of Norton Backup 1990.”
