Reference to the terms of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 should be inserted into each employee's contract of employment

All employees should be taught the basic aims of that legislation, ie that it is a criminal offence to knowingly gain unauthorised access, or to make an unauthorised alternation, to any programme or data

On the civil side, how else can you discipline them if they have 'not been told'. You might think that the days are gone, when it was assumed that employees might have some idea of 'right' and 'wrong' without being 'told'
