Company Issued Devices Ruling

The US Supreme Court has overturned a lower-court ruling and concluded that management has a right to review employee text messages on company-issued devices. If used as a precedent, this case may have far-reaching consequences for employee expectations of privacy in workplace communications. However, the ruling should also serve as a wake-up call for organizations that do not have explicit written security and privacy policies.

So for everyone out there with a company issued cell phone, be careful what you say over texts because it may not end up so good for you.
