It. Is. Never. Enough.
You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn’t matter. More ads, more profits.
I hate it.
I would call legal and IT. It’s outside the scope of my role to accept contacts on behalf of the company.
IT here, Plesse don’t involve us… We don’t want to to deal with this bs either
IT here, Yes, by all means involve me. I will buy a second monitor and plug it into a known box that is no business going anywhere. I will then block, at the network firewall level, any outbound traffic to anything that thing talks to. If it uses its own MAC address at the head end I will then collect and publish every connection that thing tries to make outside to a blacklist and provide it to the public.
Sounds way more interesting than most IT work as well. I’d definitely rather do some investigative work like this than a typical parade of password resets, email assistance, and software installations.
