Job seekers getting asked for Facebook passwords - Yahoo! Finance
In their efforts to vet applicants, some companies and government agencies are going beyond merely glancing at a person's social networking profiles and instead asking to log in as the user to have a look around.
…which of course I'm not, but if I were, I'd sure want the names of the companies (and wait, government agencies?) behaving this way, and now. This story is being played around the network as a matter of personal privacy—which it certainly is—but what I'm also thinking is, these are companies (and wait, government agencies?) who are going out of their way to hire huge security risks. Seriously. If a company makes it a point to hire people who will give up their passwords under circumstances like this I wouldn't want them sitting anywhere near any money of mine, and that includes my credit card and banking information too. And wait, government agencies?
