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.
Thank you network admin! You’re a hero!
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.
I had to ask a helpdesk for a 2fa reset once. Intrestingly, they didn’t make me identify myself except for first and last name. Not sure what point the 2FA has if it’s that easy to remove.
