Take someone technologically curious, pay them near minimum wage, and give them unfettered access to someone’s system….. and people are surprised this is happening? That’s why in enterprise IT departments you have guard rails and permissions for lower positions until they end up mature enough, in a position of trust with comparable pay and they don’t care what’s on a system.

Treat a PC or any personal digital device that can hold lots of storage of content like a large house or storage building filled with all kinds of your personal stuff. Filled with your old photos, paper files, banking information and personal information.

Would you allow just anyone to wander into this house to see everything inside or even make copies of everything?
