James S. Green, a former security guard at General Motors Warren technical center, has been accused of using the Social Security numbers of some 100 GM employees to access the companys automobile database. Green, of Washington Township, Mich., determined what vehicles certain employees drove and then sent those people faux e-mails requesting their opinions of their automobiles. Green was caught after a number of the employees who received the messages became suspicious because they were sent from a Yahoo address. The suspect was arraigned on Monday on eight charges of obtaining, possessing and transferring personal identity information.”]
