RE: Legal Liability under 1986 ECPA

["Ames, Neil" <NAmes () anteon com>]

Jeff,
        Digging up case law is research usually performed by paralegals and
law librarians.  You should find a friendly law librarian near you for that
kind of help.  Westlaw and Lexis are great databases for that kind of
research, but you are best off going through the pros.

Good luck,

Fritz Ames

Subject: [fw-wiz] Legal Liability under 1986 ECPA


I'm pushing my company to require a signed AUP, rather than simply
posting the security policy on their intranet.  I was hoping to cite
specific court cases to management illustrating the consequences of not
obtaining employee signage.

Administrators, managment, and security analysts have supposedly been
held liable for scanning/sniffing,etc actions if employee permission
isn't first obtained as per the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy
Act.

Does anyone have specific case references?
