Today, yet again, I got to my desk at work at 8 AM to find my laptop turned on and porn sites opened. Weird porn sites. I have no idea who is doing this, or how they have access to my office, or how they got my login password. HR thinks I'm making this up. FML

MymB612 tells us more.

Hey everyone, OP here :) Thanks for the funny comments, it IS a weird situation, you have no idea what it's like to try to convince the HR lady that "**** site were appearing on my desktop and I have no idea who is doing it or how it's being done" :P Let me clear a few things up (since the debates were polarized around change your password / install nanny cam / take laptop home): 1- Our login passwords are company issued and the IT change them every 6 months. If I want to change it I have to submit a formal request to the HR department, and since the lady didn't believe me back then, it wasn't an option to change it. 2- I did think about the nanny cam and wanted to get one so i could catch the culprit but the situation was solved before i had a chance to do that. 3- About taking the laptop home, not an option since they are extremely stingy and attached to their stuff (we actually have to send a friggin' email if we want pens or paper...) so they would have had that "HOW DARE SHE" look if i had suggested it :P Turns out the HR department got another complaint of the same nature from an employee from another floor, and since there were now two complaints they decided to investigate, and lo and behold, the most typical of twists... IT WAS THE JANITOOOOR They haven't said much yet, like about how he got the passwords (i'm guessing mopping behind us while we log in or something, we never really thought to notice if he was looking) and obviously he had keys. Still don't know why he picked our laptops, or why he didn't just look for **** elsewhere :/ or why he didn't just close the windows when he's done or whatever... Hopefully we'll find out more. So there you go :)

You gotta admit that's funny as hell

Not really. If a higher-up came in and saw that - it wouldn't be funny getting fired. If you happen to find another job, and they call this company as a Reference, they'll say you looked up creepy **** on your company issued laptop. Therefore, you would be denied the new job - and be jobless still. So, no, it really isn't funny.

Hide a camera in your office and don't tell anyone you did it. That way when you come in you can watch the surveillance tape and see who's ass you need to kick.

My eyes would focus on an IT member. U either pissed someone off in IT Department or they are doing a mediocre job keeping those firewalls secure

We'll mate I suggest you change your password before you go home

If it's not against company policy, disconnect the Ethernet cable when you leave at night. if the intrusions stop, it is likely they do not have physical access, but are using a remote access tool.

Or they have physical access but don't know to plug the Ethernet cable back in.

Set a camera up and hide it before you leave at night to catch the culprit. Or try coming in really really early one day and sneak in to see who it is yourself-and catch them in the act. God only knows what ELSE they're doing while at your desk!
