This line immediately brought various Dilbert images to my mind.

I'd guess within a couple of centuries, someone will figure out a material for jeans that doesn't tear between the legs.

Posted a comment in the above tread. To add to that everything one sends to print is being monitored. That leaves a room for leakage but it also makes the leakage tracing relatively easy, unless you have stolen other employee's ID (which is required to print), but do we really want to go that far for a job interview?

There are, of course, ways, but some organisations make the overhead way too big to bother.

I personally know of a case where the 'core team' of a major payments processing system was running development being completely isolated from the internet due to security reasons. Need to check stackoverflow - sure - have a walk to the cabin where you have a dedicated machine connected to web for that. Oops, and no copy-paste, sorry.

Working in the financial industry as well, not as a contractor but within the organisation itself.

To add to the above (everything is quite the same in my case): pasting medium chunks of data to external websites is restricted on the system level, same for uploading documents/images; emails to non-corporate addresses are scanned.

A comment from Russia here: I just wish they would have chosen a more interesting destination to reach by car - it's fairly simple to get to Petropavlovsk by plane. There are many other smaller hidden gems across the country where you can only get using a prepped car, thus for me the trip to Petropavlovsk looks a bit like an overkill.

Apologies for not really related question - is there a way to bypass Medium "login wall"? That's probably the third time this week I see "sign up for extra free reading". No any intention to sign up to Medium tbh.
