&gt; Just to play devil&#x27;s advocate: how hard is it to spoof whatsapp&#x2F;slack messages if one wanted to get someone fired?<p>Easy. Same with telegram. And with HushSMS you can change the text of already sent SMS messages. And lets not get into the real devious stuff. Especially if your company sysadmin is accomplice.<p>On the other hand - the story rings true. They guy made advance, was rejected, she informed the boss - it sounded to me like she wanted to avoid a potential &quot;two weeks on a business trip&quot; scenario with the guy in the future and not to cause company drama.
