unlike email.

Once worked a job in the financial sector, they enforced all Outlook clients to purge emails 3 months old AND disabled all of outlooks built-in archival tools...

Those bitches didn't disable VBA though, so I built my own Outlook archival tool all in VBA complete with an sqlite DB and a UI. Ironically, it was more stable and less susceptible to corruption than outlooks own tools lolol

That policy sounds like destruction of evidence before it's legally considered to be evidence.

Oh it for sure was, a year or 2 before I was hired they got hit with a regulation violation (not sure which anymore, I think it was Reg B) and then a few months after that this outlook policy conveniently came into effect to "minimize impact from a data breach" lmao

A subpoena is a certain kind of data breech if you think about it

I work in cybersecurity. This quote is gold and I’m putting it on our office whiteboard.
