Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.

TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.

I use my own Internet for my phone. No point messing with work Internet unless necessary.

Right? I dont want the nerds at IT to find out where I get all my free porn.

[-] tonarinokanasan 12 points 1 year ago

Plot twist - the nerd in IT was just looking for some new sources for free porn

We are, the fucking suites that control management made us make machines that flag any cool websites :"(

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

We have a guy who isn't in IT who goes through Peoples' email and shit here, so I'm definitely steering clear of their internet traffic here.

[-] Phantom3805@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

That's insane and should not be possible

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Employer email, employer network, etc.

Possible and legal, just a fuckin' scumbag thing to do. Real creepy when he jumps in on an email to reply to something you sent to someone else.

[-] Phantom3805@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No, if he's not in IT it should not be possible - I don't know what email system you're using but this person should not have the access you're saying they do.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be technically possible (I'm a sysadmin, I know what's possible in a corporate environment), I'm saying your organization should not make it possible.

If he's in some leadership position I'd be looking for other employment and/or reporting that person to your corporate compliance officer if you have one.

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, well. He's in admin, and I don't feel like searching for a new tenured position. I'll just skirt shit until he's gone. And by then, keep skirting shit anyway.

Your guy has got too much free time, should be made redundant.

Gotta have his fingers in everything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] 13esq@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Use the work equipment for work purposes and there is no issue.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This is the way. My work tends to block a lot of websites that aren't relevant to the job anyway.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
