In Pictures: Security mistakes right at your workspace

Recycle bin

The recycle bin or wastebasket is another place where employees make security mistakes. In this picture, an employee evaluation form is left out for anyone - from cleaning services, to another employee - to find. This is a violation of the employee's privacy, and likely of many corporate privacy policies as well.

You'd be amazed at the stuff that gets carelessly thrown out.

Takeaway: Consider what you're throwing away before you pitch it. Many documents should be shredded for privacy and security reasons.
