Tech Tip: Work Computers and Devices Are for One Thing Only
By • February 24, 2020 0 489
And that is … WORK!
Never mix personal web surfing and social media activity with company devices. If you want to check your Hotmail account or Facebook page, do it during your lunch break and on your own personal device.
More than 600,000 Facebook accounts are hacked every day. If you’re using a company device to access a compromised account, you’re opening up a door to a hacker who can then get into your company’s network via your email or PC.
Bottom line: Don’t use company PCs, devices, phones or internet for PERSONAL use.
