Re:Inside eBay’s bizarre campaign against a blog critic on Wednesday June 24, 2020 @07:53PM (#23635245)
This has nothing to do with corporate supplied cellular phones. There are corporate campuses where your personal cellular phones will be tracked with an IMSI catcher/Stingray. All incoming and outgoing texts will get captured by a Stingray for the Insider Threat program to monitor. Voice calls as well. Maybe even data...

I am not saying anything criminal was discussed on these phones...

If you look for higher paying jobs and discuss the matter on your personal phone with a recruiter during lunch time... Insider Threat programs will report you to your boss and HR.

If you are socially active in your private time and receive a text about a meeting, these activities will be reported to your Insider Threat program and hinder your career.

If you are having an affair (not with any coworkers) and receive a text... This will be tracked by Insider Threat program.

If you get called on your personal phone by a VC firm or competitor for a new position, this will be tracked by Insider Threat program...

If there is a full disclosure upfront, then I don't think it's that bad... But if disclosure is only given to favorites allowing some to modify their behavior... That's horrible

Another insider threat program gone rogue...

How many insider threat programs at various firms are really being used to implement systemic discrimination?

I thought it was becoming common knowledge many Silicon Valley campuses and other corporations use an IMSI catcher/Stringray to capture personal cellular communications of its employees...

I am pretty sure none of these people used their corporate issued cell phones...

I would not be surprised if ebay hired a firm to park an IMSI catcher machine close enough to the home of these people.

The reason they felt secure enough to deny these accusations implies they have all done this before.

I thought Tesla was using a Stingray IMSI Catcher to intercept personal cellular communications of its "employees" in a small radius of the factory.

I thought it was becoming common knowledge this is the case in many Silicon Valley campuses...

It wouldn't take much to get a nice Stingray and plant it at HQ...
