If you work in IT, you know that there are people behind the scenes snooping everything you do. If you are not in IT, you should be aware that there are people behind the scenes snooping everything you do.
I control virus protection on over 16,000 machines, so I have pretty decent access when it comes to moving around our network. By a stroke of luck relating to a small virus issue yesterday, I got the opportunity to visit a computer forensics lab that was hidden behind what looked like a closet door and was protected by no less than 3 card readers and a fingerprint scanner. I have pretty decent access, and I had no idea that the place was there.
I mean I’m relatively savvy and know how to snoop and repair a PC (including deleted files) without a typical user having the slightest idea what’s going on, as even most moderately decent admins can. But I can tell you that some of the ways that they can find out what you’ve done and the dirty things that you’ve been looking at are pretty amazing. Due to some hefty non disclosure agreements, I can’t really write about what I saw in there, but I can tell you that you should play nice on your work PC, and leave the nudie pictures at home.
