    In all cases involving work devices, the default assumption should be that the company can see anything you’re doing on it at any time.

    This is why I carry two phones.

      With the same consequence, you should also assume location, audio and video to be not be private when carrying these devices

            Just make sure any sites you goto are https and you should be fine.

            If you don’t want them knowing what sites you go to, you could put a VPN client on your phone.

            Otherwise if you have lots of data then that’s all moot.

      Years ago, almost two decades, I setup a Screensaver which basically took any image passed over the network and made a collage. Almost everything was like website banners and such.

      One day I was in the server room doing something un-related and in the corner of my eye I saw some horrible images on the other screen. I immediately went to the cto who called the police.

      Long story short he was immediately fired(and taken into custody) after being found in the bathroom… The images were kids between 3-7…

      Before people ask, we could find out which access point he was using to determine approximate area. A quick walk around showed it wasn’t someone at there desk. Obviously they wouldn’t be in a meeting and there was only 1 set of bathrooms in that area. Female officer went into women’s room and reported it empty. Male officer went into men’s room and found 1 person, court case revealed history on his phone and yeah… Hopefully he’s still rotting in jail.

          What I don’t get is why do it at work? Like ok, sure you may not be able to control what you enjoy but it was a credit union… “oh yeah this annual financial report got me so horny I got to go commit a federal crime in the bathroom”… Wtf???
