Qualcomm CEO Loses a Laptop
from the are-you-an-idiot dept
The CEO of Qualcomm stepped away from his speaking podium for 15-20 minutes to speak to a group of attendees, and had his laptop stolen in that time. If that weren't stupid enough, it seems that the CEO's laptop had confidential information on it that could be interesting to foreign governments. Come on, folks! One of two things is going on here: 1) the CEO had porn on the laptop and is trying to get it back before someone figures it out or 2) corporate security at Qualcomm is utterly incompetent.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
