I was going to interrupt the two of you, but I felt I might be intruding on something, so I just hung around for a while.&nbsp;\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;I think her name was (woman&#39;s name)&quot;<\/p>\n\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Orleski then went to the meeting and exclaimed he couldn&#39;t stand the sight of Smith and&nbsp;requested to work from home until his planned retirement of March 2013. &nbsp;The request was denied and Orleski was given a disciplinary warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The next day, September 21, Orleski allegedly ran DBAN on his NorQuest work laptop to wipe his hard disk. &nbsp;A few days later, Orleski was reprimanded by Smith for a $10,000 phone bill on his work phone and iPad while on vacation in Europe. &nbsp;Smith told Orleski that he was not expected to be available (i.e. not to expect the college to pay the bill.) &nbsp;Orleski then went on sick leave for two months until his firing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>January 21, 2013, NorQuest college then terminated Terlson. &nbsp;Terlson then received an email:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<blockquote>\n\n\n<p>&quot;I guess what I&#39;m trying to figure out is which one are you? &#39;Dumb&#39; or &#39;Dumber&#39;&#8230; Don&#39;t worry, Mr. pretty boy (Smith) won&#39;t be far behind you&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n<p>On February 19, 2013, dozens of&nbsp;executives and staff at NorQuest college received an email full of PDFs&nbsp;which started with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<blockquote>\n\n\n<p>&quot;What you&#39;re about to read is correspondence of a sexual nature between myself (John Smith) and my little playful sweetie&quot;<\/p>\n\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n<p>On March 1st, 2013, a court order was issued and Orleski&#39;s personal computer, iPad, phone, and other storage were confiscated by that afternoon. &nbsp;A $2 million claim of damages was made by the college but a settlement was made in 2015 and the lawsuit ended in January 2016. &nbsp;In the end, a privacy breach was uncovered of unrelated materials stored on the 2.4 gigabytes of 45,920 files in a folder on Orleski&#39;s computer including financial data, employee personnel information, and&nbsp;an employment contract of the college president.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"amazonpipp_noncename":"","amazon-product-isactive":"","amazon-product-single-asin":"","amazon-product-content-location":"1","amazon-product-content-hook-override":"2","amazon-product-excerpt-hook-override":"3","amazon-product-singular-only":"","amazon-product-amazon-desc":"","amazon-product-show-gallery":"","amazon-product-show-features":"","amazon-product-newwindow":"2","amazon-product-show-list-price":"","amazon-product-show-used-price":"","amazon-product-show-saved-amt":"","amazon-product-timestamp":"","amazon-product-new-title":"","amazon-product-use-cartURL":"","amazon_featured_post_meta_key":"","_amazon_featured_alt":"","amazon-product-template":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[64,65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-risks","category-vulnerabilities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7243"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7886,"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7243\/revisions\/7886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infosecurity.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
