Job performance details about more than 900 employees of a major office-space provider have been published online by accident after a staff review.
Sales staff at Regus had been recorded showing researchers posing as clients around office space available to rent.
Information about the employees was later published on Trello, a task-management website, and a spreadsheet with names, address and job performance data was found via Google by the Telegraph newspaper.
