First time I had heard this Geoff. It looks like a lazy man’s attempt to circumvent the system. They should all know better. As a litigator, even though I have legal privilege with my clients, it is a cardinal rule NEVER to put anything in writing that you don’t want others to see, even if it is supposed to be private. A very stupid mistake but one that the bad guys often make, to their deep chagrin.

As a SysAdmin for companies that have to comply with HIPAA and Sarbanes Oxley, I’ve been dealing with this for some time. I make a great effort to block any type of webmail and smtp from the corporate network, so everything has to go through the corporate servers. Also non-technical policies forbid employees from using email other than the one that I control

I had not heard this until I read your blog, though I can’t say I’m all that surprised. Sadly, I don’t think there’s much that could be revealed regarding government information security breaches or work arounds that would shock much of the American public anymore.
