Product Overview

The management of Telescope, a wildly popular online search engine, must deal with a security breach in which information from thousands of users has been compromised. Technically?thanks to its carefully worded terms of use?the company is not financially liable for any ensuing damage. But Telescope prides itself on its commitment to acting responsibly. CEO and Co-Founder Spencer Milo must reconcile what the company stands for and how his organization can square its sense of purpose and faith with the actions that might be necessary to keep Telescope a thriving business.
