We knew that Shell took seriously the leaks of information and Shell internal documents which have been supplied to us over several years by Shell employees. This was plain from Shell internal documents the company has been legally obliged to disclose to us.

We did not know just how seriously, until information reached us recently from a Shell Corporate Security source.

Leaked Shell Corporate intelligence documents now in our possession cover Shell’s security plans until 2014. read more

Reuters Article: Shell critic says oil major targeting his website

John

I must say that I have been very surprised (and  disturbed) to learn of the extent of Shell’s activities in the monitoring of their employees, their outside critics, etc. I find the creation of an internal ‘thought police’ organ very disturbing. Even more disturbing is the employment of former high level British and American governmental ‘spooks and cops’ to run these organizations. Shell’s relationship with the FBI is also very disturbing. Furthermore, Shell’s actions toward you and your blog have been almost ‘neo-facist’ in nature. (Henri Deterding would be proud of them, I am sure. Traditions die hard, I guess.) read more

Security Breach at Shell Reveals Personal Employee Information

Ironically, Shell’s security breach came at a convenient time- had Shell discovered the breach in April, a new set of rules (covered here and here) would have allowed the company to be charged fines of up to £500,000. However, even without the additional monetary cost, Shell lost something extremely valuable: the trust of its employees. Shell workers are much less likely to remain loyal to a company which isn’t proactive about protecting its internal information.

A document released with the stolen database suggests Shell could face more breaches.

By Richard Thurston, 16 Feb 2010 at 15:13

A lengthy document sent by allegedly disillusioned Shell employees to leading environmental and human rights activists sought to launch a corporate revolution at the oil giant.

The document, which was given to IT PRO, was attached to a leaked database containing contact details of nearly every Shell employee. It was sent by 116 disillusioned full-time employees in the US, the UK and the Netherlands to Greenpeace and other campaign groups active in Nigeria.

The document contained information on how the contact database could be used change the way Shell operates, by influencing employees, the public, top institutional investors and non-governmental organisations. read more

Shell guilty of allowing worlds biggest breach of employee details

Shell media spin machine went into overdrive last week trying to downplay the worlds biggest ever leak of employee details, including personal information, which Shell Ethics boss Richard Wiseman, has twice admitted puts the safety of some employees at risk.

A copy of a related email from Mr Wendel Broere, Group spokesman, Global media relations, Shell International B.V, desperately engaged on a damage limitation exercise with the news media, was leaked to me on the day it was sent. My role is discussed in the email, no doubt because I am the person who broke the story which turned into a global PR disaster for Shell, with all kinds of unwelcome repercussions, including an investigation by the Information Commissioners Office and the prospect of a fine for being reckless with confidential employee data. read more

Written by Emmanuel Carabott on February 15, 2010 – 4:35 pm

This week the BBC reported that someone has disclosed contact details for 170,000 of Shell’s employees world wide. The disclosure comes with a note claiming it is being disclosed by former employees who can’t stand the damage the company is doing to the environment.  Shell has in turn downplayed the event claiming that the information disclosed does not pose a security risk to its employees since it does not include employee’s addresses. read more

Shell hit by massive data breach

A spokesperson for the ICO said: “Shell has notified us of a security breach regarding a significant amount of people’s personal details. We are looking into how this data breach occurred and will decide what, if any regulatory action, is required.” Shell – if it is found guilty – may escape lightly. Fines levied by the ICO for failing to protect against the loss of personal data tend to be under £5,000.

Another major humiliation and security breach for Shell arising from our blog site royaldutchshellplc.com.   First we beat Shell to the top level domain name for Royal Dutch Shell Plc.  As a result, with Shell’s written approval, we process job applications and business proposals meant for Shell, dealing with them as we deem appropriate.

We also regularly publish leaked Shell information, including for example breaking the news last May about Voser’s Transition 2009 plans for Shell. read more
