This happened to a couple of mates of mine at Accenture - not the selfie thing but the auto sync.
They'd downloaded some booby pics to their phone, then sync'd what they thought were just their diaries & contacts with their work PC. This was their own (ie non-work owned) mobiles BTW.

Unfortunately, they'd been syncing for months, but the company introduced a zero-tolerance porn policy, so they were sacked. It caused a huge kerfuffle, it was proved that the files were synced rather than downloaded, all the management team in the office signed a petition to have them re-instated as it clearly wasn't their fault. It went to tribunal, and they we re-instated, but not because they weren't culpable (which would have made sense) but because a manager in a different office was caught out immediately after the ban and reinstated.

They both left Accenture a few months later, by the time the tribunal had happened everyone knew who they were and why they were sacked & it was too embarrassing for them to stay. Sometimes Often life is just a bit too much like Dilbert for comfort.

The amount of energy necessary to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.
