Really? The article didn’t give any details or I missed it. Is there more details I can read of how it’s used against the public?

Also, way too many people seemed to take the position of “oh it’s a company laptop so of course spyware is allowed”. It’s kinda gross how that’s accepted as “ok” - like if the company buys me a video camera or television for work that I can take home, it’s not ok if that fixed function appliance is reporting everything back to HQ. But for general purpose computing we’ve kind of accepted this breach of privacy without question. It’s really quite shocking (and no - it’s not a cybersecurity best practice to have spyware running on your employees devices).

Yeah, the reaction here is as though the forestry department can just pull up texts/phone logs from random citizens - but if this is just for their own staff, it's a bit of a nothing burger.
