"Dick automatically flies to the desktop". Social media users are discussing whether it is ethical to "prank" colleagues who leave their computers unlocked and unattended

Sitting at someone else’s computer and poking around, while being very proud of it. Zheka, you shouldn’t do that, it’s ugh.

What have modern trends done to people? Before, they would put a video on their screensaver and go out and have fun all day long)

Dude, I don’t know how you didn’t get your ass kicked. If someone touches my stuff without permission, you’re in a high-risk zone. Hacking into someone else’s computer is a stupid, shitty joke from the mentally retarded.

At one time, for pedagogical purposes, invitations to pizza were sent out to colleagues from unblocked accounts. The pizza was displayed and, to everyone’s benefit, the lesson was learned by most people in one sitting.

Ppc! If someone had hacked into my laptop, I would have complained to HR, and even gotten a slap on the head from the security team, but hacking into someone else’s computer is some kind of nonsense. Don’t you have enough work to do?

In my former IT gallery, they fought against unlocked laptops very simply: they wrote in the general chat from the laptop «I’m giving everyone pizza for lunch tomorrow.»

Touching other people’s things is complete dow*bism. Auto-lock is set after a minute of inactivity and that’s it. Imagine if one of your employees didn’t understand your efforts to improve security, and just smacked you in the face with a chair? He’ll start eating your lunch from the fridge, putting on your clothes.

I’m screaming from the comments from the fuck-a-thons who for some reason consider company-owned work laptops to be inviolable private property.

And do you also have a weakness for unlocked apartments and cars? Are you holding on?

@cy6er_pumpk1n

I didn’t think so many people would ignore the existence of company rules and security. A corporate computer is not your personal property, nor is anything on it, so the author can walk around and steal them.

@Ukrostap

That’s why I don’t like company because of people like that. You never know who’s out there who has no concept of boundaries.

Lol. It’s funny how people get upset. On my first day at work in IT, I caught a full-screen gay porn on my unlocked computer. It taught me how to lock my computer instantly and forever, and I just laughed about the situation with my new colleagues.

In 2019, I was given a black lord in the global, then I didn’t respect myself and reacted with understanding and giggled. I don’t know how I would react now, but definitely not with understanding. You can just close that laptop and that’s it, and not climb on it.

gingervanhorny

All it took was one porn and a screen saver with a penis for everyone in the department to remember to lock the laptop.

horlivske_bydlo

I had the misfortune of being liked by a colleague and he decided to rummage through my work laptop to «get to know me better», because he himself is a snotty slob who was afraid to say a word. And yes, he knew that I had a husband who was in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He left work the next day

crutch_in_code

Well, it’s obvious who hasn’t worked in companies where a compromised colleague can cost a client their life. Those computers shouldn’t have your data a priori, because in 99% of cases it was issued by the company for work. Besides, they just put some kind of fucker in the background, and not destroy the wasps.

Like, what about a purely moral prohibition against touching someone else’s property… how is that even possible?

NikiUdovychenko

It seems to me that people who write about morality, how it is possible, etc., themselves leave their work laptops open. And they don’t understand why it is not possible to do this (in the sense of leaving laptops open), so they are afraid that this will be applied to them. But they are not afraid that someone might steal their work information.

olegigr

This is a perfect cover for an enemy agent. Even if someone sees him hacking into someone else’s computer, they’ll think he’s just putting some f*ck on the screensaver, like always. And what he actually does and has done on all those bugged computers — no one knows. These types are a much bigger IT threat.

bstudents

I see an unlocked computer — shit automatically flies to the desktop. Cybersecurity is no joke, be careful, because I can change the screen saver, and someone else can have a much more serious impact.
