WTF, this could get people fired. Many companies do not descriminate whether an employee has uploaded code to a third party server intentionally or not. If corprate software monitors catch this happening, its pink slip in many places. I just can't believe anyone would play with developers this way. What a cruel company.

That is why developers should be very careful what applications they install on the corporate computer and what cloud services they use.

It's true; "fool me once" and all that. But it really doesn't make the world a better place to live if it's easier to get fired by accident.
