WalMart Rat Squeals

The world's largest retailer has ran into another scandal involving a security employee who was caught recording private phone calls about WalMart employees and the company's practices. This violated WalMart's policies and the security employee was fired. The court judge ordered the former employee to provide WalMart arrorneys with the names of all participants in the scandal. WalMart stated that they want to ensure that the fired employee does not disclose any confidential information to the public (especially the media). Kenneth Senser, the fired employee, claimed that he was pressured by a former CIA and FBI official who recently headed WalMart's office of global security since 2003. He was pressured to record phone conversations and basically tap WalMart's global communication system. However, investigators discovered that he was part of a top-secret WalMart security team involved in various questionable activities. In response, WalMart created "Project Red" which will be in charge of preventing WalMart from possible scandals. This is nothing new, scandals are one of the major worries for America's blue chip companies. Remember when one of HP's board members sent text-messages disclosing private company information. In February, a Coca-Cola employee sent letters to Pepsi concerning private information. This is getting out of hand and something needs to be done to ensure privacy for all businesses. This is good news for security companies who will eventually develop a product that will prevent these insider scandals.
