What is a "dispatch" employee? If they meant "temp" this could make a little sense regarding the trust factor.

If it doesn't mean "temp", what makes those company-issued laptops issued to dispatch employees any different from the equipment used by permanent employees?

They should be more afraid about the managers surely for many dinosaurs gullible when receiving spam mails about phishing,etc.

@aomorisamurai: A "dispatch" refers to 派遣/Haken staff which is someone employed by company A and sent from company A to work at company B. Company B pays Company A for the dispatched person and company A pays a salary to their employee.

Sounds like a spurious excuse to avoid the issue.
