Reputation risk arises in so many ways. A few weeks ago, headlines announced that various Libyan government offices had been abandoned, and then rebels went through records. One set of records related to the Libyan regime spying on the email of its citizens. The headlines and stories identified a subsidiary (Amesys) of a well known French company (Bull) as apparently having supplied spying devices to the now unseated Gaddafi regime.
