A fake job offer took down Axie Infinity

I think you are joking to bait us. At least use a VM running a VPN within it. It won't protect you from screen captures or keyloggers your employer put on your machine, but it will segregate files and network activity.

I regularly use my work laptop for unrelated purposes. Working from home has encouraged this behavior.

I know they monitor some things because they are upfront about it: Chrome says it's company managed, and there is an antivirus and some VPN software that must be always one.

But why do I care? They don't crack down on us, and know everyone plays games or visits non-work-related sites, watches YouTube, or even do homework on these laptops.

I'm not going to work for the competition using the company's laptop, so why worry?

Nope, not joking. I use a separate chrome profile for my personal life, and I keep my personal files in google drive. Even if your employer is monitoring you (which I doubt), what are you doing that you think will be so interesting to them?

It is not that weird. For several jobs now I got a laptop from work and it was agreed upon beforehand that I could install Linux on it. I trust a machine that I installed myself.

Believe it or not, not everyone gets a work-issued laptop (although this might be more common with hourly contractors)
