- Kaspersky’s latest report reveals that 4 percent of employees at 50 banks use their email to register on adult content websites.
- This is part of a wider trend where 7 percent of compromised data stolen between 2019 and 2024 contained corporate email addresses.
- Combined with poor password security, this could lead to corporate email addresses being compromised.
I feel like I should show up to more meetings with a t-shirt saying “I read your emails”. Granted, this type of thing isn’t at the top of the list of things we’re looking for; but, if we run across it, it’s gonna get reported. Too many people don’t seem to understand that their work computer is not a personal computer.
At one point the IT department where I work were asking questions about why I tether my phone to my work laptop when I’m out of the office (working from home). I told them very specifically that I would not connect any device I didn’t have administrator control over to my home network. They didn’t ask anymore questions after that. I have a work phone and work laptop for work things. I use both only for work things. I have two personal computers, and two personal phones (one for messing with roms). I don’t need their hardware for anything in my personal life. Nope. Not even a Google search.
They also asked me if I wanted my personal phone logged into the wifi and I gave them serious side eye before saying no thanks.
