On a flight today, a person in the row in front of mine, decided to use the middle seat table to browse the laptop while sitting on the side, without any effort, I was able to pick up the name, email, projects they are working on, people they are talking to and some other details that would give them away! The scary part they work in a very sensitive company, that would make the person a target of industrial espionage! Wtf! I am stunned that the level of their security is this low!

I am seriously wondering if I should contact the company and tell them to do better!

Do you mean your company? Because it sounds like you are a little light on workload...

🧐🤔

Exactly!

The better way to go by would have been to let that person know, rather than informing the company where it would be lost. If you want to help rather than snitch, that would be great

I am not crazy to give away the name or the flight or anything that would give the person away! The idea is to let them know that they need to enhance their security! Or simply ask their employees to put a privacy screen or simply shut theirs laptops while flying!

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend.
