It was a place where she could earn a good living and make new connections at the same time.
One day her supervisor called her into the office and informed her that she was being terminated for in appropriate use of the Internet. She was shocked.

She decided to contact the company vice president with whom she was good friends. He could not believe it and want to help Lisa. He ordered a full investigation by security. A computer security analyst from the company went over the computer logs. He noticed that every inappropriate Internet visit was at a time when Lisa was away from her station.
He reported his findings to the vice president who called Lisa and the supervisor into his office. He said based on the evidence Lisa would not be fired. In fact he offered her a new position in the company where she was exempt form such scrutiny. The supervisor received a verbal reprimand for taking inappropriate actions towards an employee without full confirmation.
The Vice President wanted to solve the Internet mystery. They decided that Lisa would temporarily remain in her current job. They would use her as a decoy, in order to catch the perpetrator. They eventually learned that it was a teenage son of one of the employees. He made himself at home when Lisa was away from her station. The kid would surf all the prohibited sites on the Internet. Everyone knew him, so no one bothered to ask him what he was doing. They just figured he was waiting on his parent.
