Our company opened a branch in Beijing and my team was tasked with securing it and working with network to get everything installed and hooked up. We bought all the equipment and a sealed rack with integral cooling and ship it over there.
Now we discover that our equipment is apparently too sophisticated for the local carrier to do the network connection (their words, not mine). We finally manage to walk the local isp provider through hooking up to a Cisco router and Checkpoint firewalls.
One of the sales drones sends an email to our CEO and CIO to complain that our server rack is putting out radiation and everybody in the office is getting sick. The office is unsafe.
I ask for clarification as the CEO is going off the rails about us killing the staff off, and yes, the drone is claiming we are putting out hard radiation. No, he didn't have any way to measure it but he'd never seen blue lights on the front of servers before so it was obvious those were emitters.
I think I should hire Jack Bauer to go resolve this for me.
I once threatened to write a white paper on the whole process of buying a company in AP that is completely compromised and bring it up to industry security standards. My associates said that no one would believe the tales we could tell, this is affirmation of their position.
