Ping! It's another email arriving in your inbox. However this one is rather different: it's called "Salary review" and it's come from a company you once communicated with, though you've got no association with them - no friends, no business.
"As requested, here is the salary list for the company for the pay review", says the message. And attached is a spreadsheet called "Company salaries".
The bottom of the email has all that standard boilerplate stuff; "if you are not the intended recipient of this email you must destroy it and tell us" - that sort of thing. Though of course someone has sent it to you. Perhaps thinking you were someone else, but in a sense you *are* the intended recipient - look, it's got your email address on. Almost certainly the email program autocompleted the recipient's name. And yours came up first, a quirk of some bit of caching in a computer somewhere.
The company has also been in the news: it's losing money but has been promising "cutbacks", though its board members seem richly rewarded, unlike the majority of its workers.
Now you could destroy the email; or have a look at the spreadsheet, just for yourself; or send the spreadsheet anonymously to somewhere where it can be discovered and redistributed; or send it on, under your name, to a news organisation you think could be interested.
What do you do, and why?
