I take some issue with the use of the verb spy in this context. Merriam-Webster defines the verb form of Spy as "to watch secretly usually for hostile purposes." Spying has a negative connotation.
Is it really spying if employees are leaking data they are not supposed to? To me, leak implies unsanctioned or illicit.
- nmstoker 8y agoThen perhaps it's not hostile when you know they're leaking the data, but in many cases wouldn't you need to observe them first to establish it and that could be deemed spying. In any respect, I'm sure we can get broad the idea of what the OP was after and focus on methods used, even if the specific term isn't everyone's cup of tea.
