Oppo was allegedly aware of the staffer’s efforts to glean information.

I wanted to post this yesterday, but my instance was having issues the entire day. Apologies if this is a repost.

Shi allegedly sent a message to Oppo saying that he was working to “collect as much information as possible” before starting his job. And he searched the internet for terms like “how to wipe out macbook” and “Can somebody see if I’ve opened a file on a shared drive?” from his Apple-issued MacBook before leaving the company.

For someone who is presumably pretty intelligent, this is pretty dumb.

      Not in case he had misconceptions about privacy on corporate-issued hardware. Technically it might be illegal if not spelled explicitly in the contract that yes, there will be spyware.

      And now when I’ve typed that, I’ve realized that a corporate-issued laptop would be, eh, returned to the employer with all that history. It’s expected that I’m even dumber than someone in such a position, but still funny.
